1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this Design Calculation Manual is to describe the Force 10 Engineered Building
System to Designers, Engineers and approving Authorities. The information given in this manual
should be sufficient as a reference and guide to the design of buildings up to an ultimate wind
speed of C4 86 m/sec without additional information for compliance to wind loads as defined in the
Australian NCC and New Building Codes.
Standard plans and layout are available for use however non-standard designs may be achieved
by using the guidance and Tables in this Manual. All designs when submitted for approval to the
local authority must meet all the relevant performance requirements of the relevant NCC or
Australian, New Zealand (or International) Building Code.
The Force 10 Engineered Building System has been subjected to a through testing programme
to ensure that the section capacities are correct and are in accordance with the Australian and
New Zealand Standard Codes. The design information presented in the manual has been derived
from engineering calculations and/or from testing.
This design calculation manual refers to building elements which are constructed in accordance
with relevant building codes and standards. Where indicated, this manual must therefore be read in
conjunction with that standard or the Australian NCC (BCA) or the New Zealand Building Code
requirements.
Specific design will also be required for other elements such as strong backs, columns, beams,
verandas etc. Specific design calculations will need to be prepared by appropriately qualified
designers and a Design Certificate provided to cover each project.
1.2 Summary of System
The following information has been broken up into the various design elements of the system, ie.
Floor, Wall, Roof, Components and gives a typical design example to suit cyclonic conditions in
Australia.
Where testing has been used to define the design element, results have been calculated after
taking into account the variability of the structural units.
Where calculations have been undertaken, the standard design code used AS/NZS4600 : 2005.
The following information will be sufficient for a design engineer competent in structural analysis to
assess the system.
FORCE 10 BUILDING SYSTEM
Roof Design
Roofs have been structurally designed to current Australian and New Zealand Standard Codes
over the lifetime of the Force 10 System.
Enclosed in this document is Design Calculations to AS/NZS4600: 2005 for an ultimate wind speed
of 60m/sec and for an 11.0 module span. Computer analysis was undertaken using Space Gass
10.72(a) and results included. Design Analysis indicates that Force 10 members are satisfactory in
combined loads.
(Ultimate uplift capacity from testing is 29.5 kN).
Wall Panel Design (Testing)

Testing was undertaken at the James Cook University Cyclone Testing Station in 2011. The test
results were recorded and recommended Ultimate Limit State values were determined.
The series of tests were undertaken on the standard Force 10 Panels and for a panel developed
for C4 Region D and the NCC Importance Level 4 (IPL4) in accordance with Standards Australia
AS1170.2 Wind Actions. This panel is referred to as the IPL4 panel and the same panel design
is used as a C4 panel (all regions). The results are summarised as follows:
TEST REPORT STANDARD C4 IPL4

PANEL PANEL PANEL
Bending Capacity KPa
Test Report - TS826
(a) Non Cyclonic Static Test 6.79 kPa 7.8 kPa 7.8 kPa
(b) Cyclonic Cyclic Test 6.79 kPa 9.7 kN 9.7 kPa
Impact Test -
Test Report - TS829 - Passed
Racking Resistance - 21.4 kPa 21.4 kPa
Test Report - TS830 (3 panels)
Tensile Strength 45.3 kPa 45.3 kPa 45.3 kPa
Test Report - TS837
These values are ultimate section capacities and are to be reduced by the appropriate section
capacities reduction factors of AS/NZS4600 Table 1.6.
The test results were for 2435 mm high panels and have been extrapolated to 2700 mm high by
the ratio squared and similarly for 3000 mm high. Based on assessments of this testing, the
following ultimate design capacities for the Force 10 panels can be summarized as follows:
DESIGN CAPACITY STANDARD

Racking Resistance (kN/Panel)
(a) 2435 high 5.85 6.5 6.5
(b) 2700 high 5.27 5.7 5.7

Reference to Tensile Strength Test

James Cook University Cyclone Testing Station Report TS837.
Tensile test was a panel assembly which is roof bolt to panel to floor bearer to stump using the
Force 10 proprietary brackets. From this testing, the nominal tensile load (uplift) of the assembly is
45.3 kN. For a capacity reduction factor of 0.65 tensile section capacity is 29.5 kN.
This value is characteristic of the system and requires no further review.
Section Uplift Capacity - 29.5kN
Floor Design
Floors have been structurally designed to current standard codes over the lifetime of the structure.
In the Floor Design area are Design Calculations to AS/NZS4600: 2005. From these calculations
the Bearer / Joist Spans are calculated using 1.5 kPa Live Load, 2 kPa Live Load and 3 kPa Live
Load.
Footing Design
This is site specific and requires analysis of a Design Engineer and based on site specific
knowledge.

Testing was undertaken in 2011 at the James Cook University Cyclone Testing Station. Testing
was as follows:

From these reports the following recommended ultimate strength design wind capacities were
obtained.

From Testing:

(1) STATIC TEST
Use 11.31 kPa as Value
For kt = 1.5 => Ultimate Static 7.54 kPa

(Wall Panel Analysis) Page W2 of 9
(2) CYCLIC TEST
Value = 0.9 x 11.31 kPa = 10.18 kPa
Test Load if passes

Then Value = 9.16 kPa
These values are ultimate and need to have a capacity reduction factor applied => = 0.9 =>

To determine the bending capacity of other height panels by using previous testing results that
have been undertaken since 1988 the bending capacity is equivalent to the inverse height ratio
squared - therefore for other height panels:

A review of the Wind Load Codes (AS1170 and AS4055) gives the following net pressure for
design. Comparing these values to the assessed capacities will give the following tabulated
assessment.

(C) RACKING TEST
From the James Cook University Cyclone Testing Station a recommended value for racking was
set at 21.4 kN for 3 panels normally 7.1 kN per panel.
It is recommended that the standard panel be further limited by bolt bearing loads.
Bearing capacity Vb = C df t fu = (AS/NZS 4600 Cl 5.3.4)

Where:
= 0.6
= 1.0
df = 16mm
t = 1.2mm
fu = 520Mk
C => df = 16 = 13.3
t 1.2
C = 4 - .1 x 13.33 Table 5.3.4 (B)

= 2.667
Vb = 0.6 x 2.667 x 1.6 x 1.2 x 520

= 15.98 kN
For 2435 x 990 panel, from statics
Racking load x 2.435 = Vb x 0.99 => Racking load 6.5 kN
For standard panel reduce by 0.9 => 6.5 kN x 0.9 = 5.85 kN
Ultimate Racking Value = 5.85 kN
Note for higher panels racking value can be linearly extrapolated:

D AXIAL CAPACITY - LOADS 2435 2700 HIGH PANELS
From previous testing on 2700 high panels (ASTM E 73 95) section 9 was determined as an
appropriate test for the comparable load of a Force 10 wall panel.

F Axial Loads James Cook University Cyclone Testing Station
The James Cook University Cyclone Testing Station (Test Report T837) undertook a single test on
a bolt assembly. From this test the breaking load was 55.9 kN. Applying a reduction factor of 0.81
the nominal tensile capacity of 45.3 kN is appropriate. The relevant capacity factor for the
assembly is 0.65 giving the following:

D. Bearer/ Stump Capacity- JCU CTS Load path Test Report TS837
NOTE: Once bearer flange bends material goes into tension and bolt tear out occurs. Using AS/NZS4600 (5.3.4.2).
These Test results indicate that this bearer fixing is acceptable.
BEARER / STUMP CONNECTION

As tested in JCU-CTS Load path Test Report TS837 the Tensile test was a panel assembly which is roof bolt
to panel to floor bearer to stump using the Force 10 proprietary brackets.
From this testing, the nominal tensile load (uplift) of the assembly is 45.3 kN.
For a capacity reduction factor of 0.65 tensile section capacity is 29.5 kN.
This value is characteristic of the system and requires no further review.

Design Loads N*/V*
a. Design Loads are as per cyclonic loads as per AS4055 and can be combined using net pressure
coefficients as
Wall Cpn = 1.35 and Roof Cpn= 1.6
The method for determining maximum uplift is to consider wall loads and put into interaction
formula to determine maximum uplift load
