Sample Railing Calculation To Euro Code

This document provides a design summary for a railing with glass infill at the Isetan Orchard escalator. It analyzes the vertical main posts, glass infill, horizontal members, and connections based on loading codes. The vertical posts, a 30x60x3mm RHS section, was found to have sufficient moment capacity, shear capacity, and deflection allowance. Similarly, the 12.76mm glass infill and 125x40mm wood horizontal member met design requirements. Welding and bolting were designed to connect members and transfer the calculated shear and moment loads.
