PROPOSED TIMBER RAILING

LOADING - on Steel Railing

(a) Horizontal Load UDL, kN/m
Horizontal Load = 0.74 kN/m , Table 4, Fourth Schedule
Width of Glass Barrier = 1 m
Height of Glass Barrier = 1.1 m
Moment = 0.74 x 1x 1.1 x 1.6
= 1.3024 kNm
Force = 0.74 x 1 x 1.6 = 1.184 kN
Force per support at base = 1.184 / 1 = 1.184 kN

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

UDL = 1 kN/m2 , Table 4, Fourth Schedule
Width of Glass Barrier = 1 m
Height of Glass Barrier = 1.1 m
Horizontal Load = 1 x 1 = 1 kN/m
Moment = 1 x 1.1 ^2 / 2x 1.6
= 0.97 kNm
Force = 1 x 1 x 1.6 = 1.600 kN
Force per support at base = 1.6 / 1 = 1.600 kN

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

Point Load = 0.5 kN
Height of Glass Barrier = 1.1 m
Moment = 0.5 x 1.1 x 1.6 = 0.880 kNm

Maximum Moment = 1.30 kNm Maximum of a, b & c

Maximum Force = 1.600 kN

Design of Connection
Type of anchor bolt = Hilti HSA Stud Anchor
Dia. of anchor bolt = 10 mm
Shear capacity = 5.3 kN/bolt
Tensile capacity = 6.1 kN/bolt
Provide = 4 no. of bolts
Shear capacity = 4 x 5.3 = 21.2 kN
Shear force exerted = 1.60 kN OK
Factor of safety = 21.2 / 1.6 = 13.25

Capacity of the connected plate = Pbs=d*t*pbs<0.5*e*t*pbs

Bearing Capacity for part
Shear Force
= 10 mm Grade 4.6
= 10 mm
= 460 N/mm2 Bearing strength of connected parts in Table 33
= 460 x 10 x 10 = 46 kN
= 1.60 kN OK

Pbs = 460 N/mm2 Bearing strength of connected parts in Table 33

End distance = 25 mm
Bearing Capacity for part = 0.5 x 25 x 10 x 460 = 58 kN
Shear Force = 1.60 kN OK
