1.0 INTRODUCTION

This document covers the load calculations, static analysis, and check for the adequacy of the
proposed Steel frame terms of Moment resistance and deflection criteria

GEOMETRY

2.0 MATERIAL
2.1 The Primary frame of the structure of 100x50x3mm steel box RHS
2.2 Outer boarder made of Aluminum box 100x50mm
2.3 Lover blade section used is GE Profile- 09153

3.0 CODES AND STANDARDS

 BS 8118 Structural use of Aluminum.
 BS 5950 structural use of steel

4.0 LOADINGS
In addition to the self-weight of the frame structure the wind load is taken into account.

Dead Load

Self Weight: as taken by STAAD software

Wind Load:Calculated as per ASCE- 7

5.2 Load Considerations

The following load combinations which is the maximum expected critical load combination is
taken for the design of the structure.

1. 1Dead load + 0.8 Windload for Serviceability

2. 1.2 Dead load +1.2 wind load for stress calculations

6. DESIGN CHECKS

The dead load of the glass system as well as wind load acting on the glass is transferrd to the
frame
Wind laod applicable ( as per attached Wind load calculation ASCE 7-10)

Maximum wind pressure Considered =0.87 Kpa

6.1 Check for the supporting structure

The supporting structure is composed of steel frame made out of 200x200x6mm mm Steel box

Properties of 200x200x6mm steel box

Area of cross section 4656mm2
Moment of Inertia about X axis-Ixx 29233472 mm4
Moment of Inertia about Yaxis -Iyy 29233472 mm4
Distance of Neutral axis to Edge (along Y-axis) y= 100mm
Distance of Neutral axis to Edge (Along X-axis) x=100 mm
Section modulus – about X axis - Zxx Zxx= Ixx/y =292334.7 mm3
Section modulus – about Y axis - Zyy Zyy= Iyy/x = 292334.7mm3

Check for Deflection

Maximum Deflection as per STAAD = 8.53mm

Allowable deflection = 10000/360=27.7mm

Actual deflection < allowable deflection. Hence safe

As per STAAD Analysis

Max bending Moment = 12.64 KNm

Using steel grade 275,

Design strength of steel =275 N/mm2
Moment resistance offered = section modulus x allowable stress

= 292334.7 x275 /(106) =80.39 KNm

= 80.39 KNm> 12.64 KNm

Hence safe

Reaction summary as per STAAD Analysis

Max Vertical force Fy = 5.662 KN

Max Horizontal force , Fz = 12.47 KN
Max Horizontal force Fx = 1.02 KN

As per the calculation attached using”fixperiemce” software 4 Nos of M12 Anchor Bolt -
120mm length , using 10mm thick base plate is sufficient
