1. INTRODUCTION
This report covers the structural design of the Parapet steel supporting structure.
The structural consists of a supporting structure as per the attached drawing with the
dimensions as shown. The structure consists of Steel SHS Tubes as per the design
requirements.
Front Steel supporting structures are analyzed and designed with the STAAD software as per
BS5950. It is shown that all the structural members are adequately sized to carry the
expected loads within the elastic domain of stresses and deflections within the serviceability
criteria laid down by the British and relevant local stipulations.
3. MATERIAL OF CONSTRUCTION
All bolts used for main connections shall be grade 8.8 or high yield.
5. GENERAL ARRANGEMENT
Load Combinations
As per BS standard,
UL = 1.4 DL + 1.6 LL
The Dead, Live and Wind loads are applied on the structure as uniformly distributed loads on
the Steel Support structure.
The parapet structures are placed at maximum span as per the shop drawings whereas the
Main beam is also considered with all loadings on the structure.
Loads are calculated on the spacing between the structures which are as follows:
Dead Loads:
Wind Loads:
To check the parapet steel structure against all the above loading combination and to be on
factor of safety (see attached calculations made by the structural program STAADPRO).
Hence, the output is attached here with calculations to provide that the sections used in the
steel support structure are safe and stable.
8. CONNECTION DESIGN
Using software, the connection design calculations is being carried out taking the maximum
reactions obtained from the above calculations as per BS 5950.
Referring to drawing,
The length of weld available as per the shop drawings = 4 X (50) = 200 mm
Hence, the Total Strength of the Welded Length = 0.622 X 200 = 124.4 KN
The Maximum Axial force acting on the same position is less than the Strength of Weld at
that position which is safe.
9. CONCLUSION
All sections used and provided are structurally sufficient and meet its intended purpose.
