PROPOSED SS HANDRAIL

LOADING - on Handrail
(a) Horizontal Load UDL, kN/m
Horizontal Load = 0.74 kN/m , Table 4, Fourth Schedule
Width of Barrier = 1m
Moment = 0.74 x 1 ^2 / 8x 1.6 = 0.148 kNm
Force = 0.74 x 1 x 1.6 = 1.184 kN
Force per support = 1.184 / 2 = 0.592 kN

(b) UDL applied to infill of, kN/m2

UDL = 1 kN/m2 , Table 4, Fourth Schedule
Height of Barrier = 1.1 m
Horizontal Load = 1 x 1.1 x 1.6 = 1.76 kN/m
Width of Barrier = 1m
Moment = 1.76 x 1 ^2 / 8 = 0.220 kNm
Force = 1.76 x 1 = 1.760 kN
Force per support = 1.76 / 2 = 0.880 kN

(c) Point Load applied to part of the infill of, kN

Point Load = 0.5 x 1.6 = 0.8 kN
Width of Barrier = 1m
Moment = 0.5 x 1 / 4x 1.6 = 0.200 kNm

Maximum Moment = 0.220 kNm Maximum of a, b & c

Maximum Force = 0.880 kN

Design of Handrail
Handrail size = 50 x 25 x 3mm thk RHS handrail
Thickness = 3 mm
Moment = 0.220 kNm
Allowable fb(stainless Steel) = 215 N/mm2 Py ( Stainless Steel )
Zxx, req'd = M/fb = 0.22 x 1000000 / 215 = 1023 mm3
Zxx, provided = 3.1964 cm3 = 3196 mm3
Hence, the section provided is OK OK

Maximum Force = 0.880 kN

Section Area = 4.140 cm2 = 414 mm2
Shear stress = 0.880 x 1 x 1000 = 2.13 N/mm2
1 x 414 minim OK

Total Horizontal Load = 0.88 x 1 = 0.88 kN

Welded Connection
Weld Thickness, t = 3 mm all round
Effective Weld Thk., te = 2.1 mm (te=0.707*t)
Design Strength, Fw = 215 N/mm(Table 36, Clause 6.6.5.1 BS5950)

Outside diameter of weld = 56 mm

Weld Area, A = 499.513 mm2 (A=te*L)
Inertia of Weld, I = 175954 mm4 (I=bd3/12)
Centroid of Weld = 28 mm

Load Act on Connection

Eccentricity, e = 0 mm
Tension = 0.00 KN
Shear = 0.88 KN
Moment = 0.22 KN-m
Tensil Stress , T = 0.0 N/mm( T=Tension/A)
Shear Stress , V = 1.8 N/mm( T=Shear/A)
Bending Stress , M = 35.0 N/mm(M=Moment*c / I)
Actual Combined Strength = √(M2+(T+V)2)
= 35.1 N/mm[OK]
Provide fillet weld of 3 mm all round
