2. INPUT

2.1. INTRODUCTION
The project deals with the construction of Davit system at varies level in the Project of Artesia Mid Rise
Building (G+28) on plot No. 676-5408 (E006) Tower ‘A’ , ‘B’ , ‘C’ , ‘D’ in Dubai at UAE. Davit system fixed on
the concrete on the anchor bolts. There are different reach of davit in varies level and calculation prepared
for maximum reach of Davit.

2.2. STRUCTURAL STANDARDS

CODES FOR DESIGN OF MEMBERS

BS5950 Specification for the use of structural steel work in building.

BS EN 1808 Building Maintenance unit

BS 8110 Concrete Design

All units are in mm and m.

2.3. STEEL MATERIAL

Steel Material: ASTM A 36/A 36M, A56, ASTM A 500 (Grade B or C), ANSI B36, S275 JR or Equivalent.
Steel structural bolts: BS 4395-Part 3 High Strength friction grip Gr. 8.8.
Anchor Bolts: ASTM A307, DIN M36 and AISI 5140 or Equivalent. Grade 8.8.

2.4. LOADINGS
Dead load are calculated on the basis of unit weight of material specified for construction or based on
the unit weight of materials as per the design criteria
2.4.1 Dead Load (DL)

 Self-weight of Steel Member automatically calculated by programs.

2.4.2 Dead Load (DL)

Total Suspended Load (TSL) = RL + SWP + Mwr + Mc (BS EN 1808:1999 clauses 6.5.2.1 (8)
Rated Load RL = Mp + Me + Mm = (2 x 80) + (2 x 40) + 0 = 240 (BS EN 1808:1999 clauses 6.3.2.1 (2)
Mass of Plat form (SWP) = 280 Kg (Ref. shop drawing)
Mass of wire ropes ( Mwr) = 0.25 Kg / m (Ref. supporting document)
= (Number of wire ropes x Ht. of suspension point )

= (0.25 x 4 ) x (100m) = 100 Kg

Mass of Cable (Mc) = 15 Kg (Ref. Supporting documents)

Total Suspended Load (TSL) = 240 + 280 + 100 + 15 = 560 Kg

So Total Suspended Load (TSL) / Davit = 635 Kg / 2 = 318 Kg or 3.18 kN ,
Considering extra safety, the total suspended assigned in design calculations = 5 kN

2.4.3 Wind Load (WL)

Wind Pressure (q) = Guided platform 250 N/m 2 (BS EN 1808:1999 clauses 6.3.3, Table 6)

Assumed exposed area surface area of material = 2 m 2

Wind Load on Davit at wire rope point = Area of Platform x Wind Pressure
= 2 m2 x 250 N/m2
= 500 N, 0.5 kN
2.4.4 Combination Load

 1DL + 1WL
 1.4DL + 1.4WL

2.5. PROGRAMS USED:

Design and Analysis done by Staad Pro and excel spread sheets.
