2. Calculation Description

For this railing system, the pillar work as a cantilever beam tansfer load to main
structure, and the glass brackets connect glass panel with pillar and transfer load to it.

Main Calculation Information:

Pillar Thickness : Tp = 16 mm
Pillar Depth : Dp= 100 mm
Pillar Height : H0= 1000 mm
Glass Panel Width : D= 1.2 m
Glass Net Thickness : T= 12 mm
Density of glass ρ= 25.6 KN/m³
Glass Modulus of Elasticity : Eg= 72000 N/mm2
Pillar section Area : A= 1600 mm²
Section Modulus in Bending : Wz= 26666.7 mm³
Moment of Inertia : Iz= 1333333 mm4
Pillar Modulus of Elasticity : Ep= 205000 N/mm2
H1= 945 mm
H2= 255 mm
H3= 900 mm

3. Load & Load Combination

3.1 Load
Wind load: WL = 0.4 kN/m2
Dead Load: DL = glass self weight
Live load: LL = 3 kN/m (client request)

3.2 Load Combination

COMB: 1.2 *D L + 1.4 *W L (BS 5950 Table 2)

4. Pillar Strength Check

The critical section is located on the bottom of the pillar,which carry the shear force and
moment caused by wind load. Wind load reaction force F1 will be hold by pillar but F2
will be hold by u-channel. The load reaction force is presented as below:

F1L=F1R= 215.29 N F1=F1L+F1R= 430.58 N

Shear force : Fs = F1+LL·D

Fs = 4030.58 N
Bending moment : Mw = F1·H1+LL·D·H3
Mw = 3646898.1 N·mm

Max. stress : σmax = Fs/A+Mw/Wz

σmax = 139.278 MPa < 148 MPa …OK

5. Pillar Deflection Check

Based on BS 6180 section 6.4.1, the limit value of deflection shall not exceed L/65 or
25 mm whichever is smaller, then :
L/65 = H0/65 = 15.3846 mm
The deflection happen as below :
d = (F1·H1 ·((3xH0)-H1)/(6·Ep·Iz))+(LL·D·H1^2·((3xH0)-H1)/(6·Ep·Iz))
^2

d = 4.216 mm < 15.385 mm ….OK

6. Reaction Forces for Anchor Bolt

Shear force = 4030.58 N
Bending moment = 3646898 N·mm

7. Conclusion
The pillar is qualified for this project !
