    The document provides calculations for handrail design according to BS EN 1991-1:2002. It analyzes the loading on a handrail based on standard factors and determines the factored and service loads. It then performs design checks for the handrail post and top rail sections based on their material properties and standard strength equations to verify they can withstand the calculated shear, moment and deflection loads. Finally, it checks that a 4mm fillet weld would be sufficient to transfer the maximum calculated forces between the post and rail.

    Handrail design

    Loading calculation:

    According to BS EN 1991-1:2002,Table 6.12,

    Horizontal load on the top runner = 0.74 kN/m (LL)


    Effective length of railing, s = 1.3 m
    Factored load on the top rail, w1 = 1.5LL = 1.11 kN/m
    Moment Mu₁ = w₁s²/8 = 0.23 kNm
    Shear Vu₁ = w₁s/2 = 0.72 kN
    Service load on the top rail, w₂ = LL = 0.74 kN/m

    Height of post, h = 1m
    Factored load on the tip of the post, P = 2Vu₁ = 1.44
    Serivce load on the tip of the post, P₀ = 2Vu₁/1.5 = 0.96
    Moment Mu₂ = Ph = 1.44 kNm
    Shear Vu₂ = P = 1.44 kN
