1. DESIGN CRITERIA

1.1. GENERAL  
The structural performance of the canopy below the stick curtain wall system is verified according to the 
following codes and standards: 

 BS 6399 – Part 2 – Loadings for buildings 
 BS 5950: Part 1‐ Structural use of steel work in buildings 

1.2. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF MATERIAL 
         
 Properties of Grade S275 Steel Material 

Modulus of Elasticity, Es   = 200,000 MPa 
Coefficient of Linear expansion, ε = 12x10⁻⁶ /⁰C 
Design Strength, Fy = 275 MPa 
Bearing Strength, Fu = 400 MPa 
             
 Anchor Fixing Materials 

Fischer or approved equivalent 
 
 Concrete Grade 

Compressive cylinder strength, C30/40; Cylindrical strength, f’c = 30MPa/Cubic strength, fcu = 40MPa 
 
 
B. Design Criteria for Wind Load 

See wind load calculations 
 
C. Design Criteria for Dead Load 

Dead loads (i.e. extrusions, glass) shall be incorporated within the calculation set. 
Structural software automatically computes the self‐weight of the member being analyzed. 
 
D. Design Criteria for Live Load (canopy with no access) 

Uniformly distributed load of 0.6 KN/m2 
Concentrated load of 0.9 KN 
 
E. Deflection Limits under Serviceability Loading  
 L/200 as per BS 5950 – Table 8
