In order to study the structural stability of the disc-buckle type formwork support, the multi-parameter experimental analysis of the disc-buckle type formwork support structure was carried out by using experimental and fi nite element analysis method. The infl uence parameters of working conditions, lift height, diagonal bracing and sleeve on the structural stability bearing capacity was mainly considered. The regularity of the buckling direction of the vertical pole, the stress at each typical position on the vertical pole and the axial force of the vertical pole was studied based on the experimental results. Based on the characteristics of semi-rigid connection joints, the correctness of the experimental results was verifi ed by fi nite element analysis, and the results show that reducing lift height and arranging diagonal bracing have remarkable infl uence on improving the structural stability bearing capacity. The usage of sleeves has little infl uence on the structural stability, and the corner pole was the worst position of the overall structural stability. The factors of working conditions and diagonal bracing have the remarkable infl uence on the buckling direction of the vertical pole. The factor of working condition has the most obvious infl uence on the stress uniformity of the vertical pole. The axial force of the vertical pole in the disc-buckle type formwork support structure presented a relatively uniform state from bottom to top in the loading process. The arrangement of diagonal bracing and the usage of sleeves have an infl uence on the uniformity of the axial force of the vertical pole. Compared with the fi nite element results, the error of the structural stability bearing capacity was within 6%, indicated that the fi nite element can accurately simulate the structural stability bearing capacity.
