Loading Calculation Details
1.Purpose of Design

Concurrently with topographical survey & investigation work and work designing of modules
mounting structure shall be carried out to have secured and durable support to the module and to
provide required tilt to the modules for achieving effective generation of PV solar power system.

2. Basic of Design

2.1 As per the technical specification the stricture is considered to have a fixed tilt

2.2 Standard solar module data sheet has been considered for the design perimeter like dead load
of PV modules and its dimensions.

2.3 structure is considered to have purlins and rafters connected to a cantilever leg which is taken
from the pile.

2.4 The structure is designed to take various load such as dead load as per IS 875 Part 1&2. wind
load as per 875-part 3.

2.5 Design of steel structure is carried out as per Indian code of standard referring to working stress
method of design IS-801.

3. General

3.1 Structure simulation has been carried out using the Structure Simulation Software STAAD. Pro
V8i (select series 6).

3.2 support reaction obtained from the structure STAAD model has been considered for the design of
foundation and connection plates & Bolt.

3.3 Design of steel structure member has been carried out using the structure simulation software
STAAD. Pro V8i (SELECT Series4).

Allowable ratio be 1.33 taken as per IS 801 clause6.12

 Deflection check

Purlin deflection = 2.66mm, Allowable = 2600/180 = 14.44 mm

Rafter deflection = 5.3 mm, Allowable = 1582/150 = 10.54 mm

Column deflection = 4.2 mm, Allowable = 1087/240 = 4.52 mm
