 1 GENERAL

1.1 Design Principles

This calculation covers the Analysis and Design of steel frame for External GRC Support

3D Space frame Analysis is done with Dead load, Live load, Wind Load

This document contains load calculations, analysis & design of the main structural
steel elements.

1.2 Idealization of Structures

GRC framing is idealized as firmly connected with each other and finally connected
with main R.C.C. & solid block-wall system of the building.

1.3 Standards and Codes

Structural use of steelwork in building – BS5950-1:2000
Loading for Buildings – BS 6399-Part I, Part-II & Part-III
Wind Load as per BS 6399 part II: 1997

1.4 Units of Measurement

Units of measurement are in SI unless noted otherwise.

1.5 Design Inputs

Grade of Structural Steel = S275
Fy = 275 N/mm2
Fu = 400 N/mm2
Modulus of Elasticity E = 205000 N/mm2

 2 DESIGN CODES & ASSUMPTIONS

2.1 Design Codes

Structural use of steelwork in building – BS 5950-1:2000

Loading for Buildings – BS 6399-Part I & III
American Welding Society (AWS) – D1.1
Wind Load as per BS 6399 Part-II: 1997

2.2 Assumptions

GRC Elements are firmly connected to steel elements and concrete elements
with the mechanical fasteners with min. of grade 8.8 anchors and S275 plates

Gade of fasteners are Min. of 8.8

Grade of Main Steel Elements are Min. of 275 N/mm2

GRC Elements are purly for Architectural Purpose only.

 3 LOADS & LOAD COMBINATIONS

3.1 Loads

Dead load of GRC Elements

Self weight *1.05 (5% for connections and plates)
Live load of 0.6 kN (For Erection & Maintenance)
Wind load as per wind speed = 45m/s on all sides

3.2 Load Combinations

Serviceability load combinations

1.0 DL
1.0DL + 1.0LL
1.0DL + 1.0WL
1.0DL + 1.0LL + 1.0WL

Strength load combinations

1.4DL
1.4DL + 1.6LL
1.0DL + 1.4WL
1.4DL + 1.4WL
1.2DL + 1.2LL + 1.2WL

 4 WIND LOAD

Wind load is calculated as per BS 6399‐Part II: 1997

Effective wind speed = 45 m/s (3s gust factor)

Dynamic pressure = (1530 ‐ 981) x 5 + 981

10

Dynamic pressure = 1255.5 N/m2

Dynamic pressure = 1.256 kN/m2

Conclusion:

*Allowable Deflection of all members considered in the design = Span/350 As per BS 5950
(See Stadd output File )

*Members are safe enough to carry loads in both compression and tension.As per BS 56950
( See Stadd Out put file)
