1. INTRODUCTION
The objective of this report is to propose the reinforcement needed for the ACP depending on different load
cases. Two critical ACP Panels are considered and verification is done in two different cases, one where the
ACP is under Wind Load and one where Nodal maintenance loads are considered on several locations of the
ACP.
2. DESIGN CRITERIA
According to design parameters section 4.4, the following Combinations should be considered:
Load combinations
Service combinations: SLS
- 1.0 Dead loads + 1.0 Wind load

- 1.0 Dead loads + 1.0 Maintenance Load
Ultimate combinations: ULS
- 1.35 Dead loads + 1.5 Wind load

- 1.35 Dead loads + 1.5 Maintenance Load
3. SOFTWARES
The software’s used are:
- Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2014

4. ACP VERIFICATION
Dimensions
The dimensions of the ACP are equal to 1200x3740mm.
Thickness = 4mm.
Loads definition
Dead Loads
The self-weight of the aluminum ACP is calculated automatically by the software according to the mechanical
properties and dimensions of each component.
Case 1: Wind Load
According to Design parameters section 4.3.2, Referencing the specifications 6801- Windsor Project, Section 4-
External Glazing and Cladding Performance Specification-rev D, Wind Load is equal to 2250Pa
5
Case 2: Nodal Maintenance Load
According to design parameters, a Nodal load of 1000N is applied on a square area of area of edge 100mm on
the ACP, several load cases are considered:
1000/ (0.1x0.1) = 100000Pa

Conclusion
Case 1: Wind Load
Max. Deflection is equal to 12.7mm < Allowable deflection 1200/90 = 13.3mm
Max Stress is equal to: 97.77MPa < Allowable Stress for ACP = 120/1.1 = 109MPa
Case 2: Maintenance Load
Max Stress is equal to: 84.81MPa < Allowable Stress for ACP = 120/1.1 = 109MPa
Max. Deflection is equal to 23.3mm > Allowable deflection 1200/90 = 13.3mm
Max Stress is equal to: 176.84MPa > Allowable Stress for ACP = 120/1.1 = 109MPa
