DFC STAIRS AND FENCES
This is brief summary and findings of the effects of the added temperature change loads as per Dubai
Building Code. This is also similar to other gate and stairs results.
ALUMINUM FENCE
As shown in the diagram, the bottom horizontal member is the most
affected member due to temperature change load.
BOTTOM HORIZONTAL MEMBER MAXIMUM FORCES
As per software results, considering the additional temperature change load of 30 deg. It is observed that
maximum developed axial force for the bottom horizontal member AL‐TUBE60X60X4 increased greatly.
However, the axial capacity of this tube still exceeds the demand.
INFILL MEMBER MAXIMUM FORCES
Similarly, for infill members are not heavily affected by the temperature change loads.

These values are specific capacities for horizontal members to specifically compare the actual capacity and
demand. Having an unsupported length of <0.9m the profile is still adequate.
