CALCULATION FOR STEEL SUPPORT FOR ALUMINIUM CLADDING

AL SILA HOSPITAL PROJECT

LOADS CONSIDERED

1. SELF WEIGHT OF THE PRECAST PANEL

= 24 X 1.2 X { (0.5 X 0.08) + 2(0.130 X 0.08)}

= 1.75 kN

2. WIND LOAD

BASIC WIND SPEED = V = 45 M/SEC

IMPORTANCE FACTOR = I =1

EXPOSURE CATEGORY = C

TOPOGRAPHY FACTOR = Kzt = 1

WIND DIRECTIONALITY FACTOR = Kd=1

GUST FACTOR = G=0.85

VELOCITY PRESSURE CO EFFICIENT Qz = 0.613 X Kz X Kzt X Kd X V2 X I X 10 -3 KN/M2

= 0.613 X 45 2 X 1X 1 X 0.85 X 10 -3

= 1.055 KN/ M 2

DESIGN WIND LOAD ON EACH PANEL = P = A X Qz X G X (Cp-Cpi)

= (1.2 X 0.5) X 1.055 X 0.85

= 0.43 KN

TOTAL LOAD = SELF WEIGHT OF EACH PANEL + WINDLOAD

1.75 + 0.43 = 2.18 KN

TWO PANELS ARE SUPPORTED ON 4 BOLTS.

HENCE SHEAR ON EACH BOLT = (2.18 X 2) / 4 = 1.09 KN

TENSILE MONMENT ON EACH BOLT = 1.09 X 0.07 = 0.076 KN-M = 7.6 N-M

PERMISSIBLE TENSILE MOMENT ON EACH BOLT = M = (Fst X I ) / y

= ( 460 X 3217 ) / 8

= 0.814 kN-M = 18.4 N-M

THEREFORE PERMISSIBLE TENSILE MOMENT 18.4 N-M > 7.6 NM

HENCE OK.
