Abstract
Temporary fencing is a mandatory installation in construction sites because of environmental regulations and pedestrian safety. Contractors are responsible for the structural integrity of frames. The fence frame composed of a ledger and post is very weak in the out-of-plane direction, which is normally reinforced by diagonal bracing with a sub post. In this study, the location of lateral bracing for the main post was investigated analytically. Three types of frame were suggested and their performance was compared in terms of the maximum moment and deflection. A construction site may be located at city centers or crowed areas, and a contingent accident should be considered. The EOD type was found to be most efficient among the three frames suggested.
