Structural Calculation For Balcony Handrail - R1 PDF

This document provides structural calculations for a balcony handrail. It specifies codes and material properties, including steel bending stress limits and modulus of elasticity. Load calculations are shown for wind loads on glass panels. A steel substructure frame is analyzed using STAAD software, and results show maximum bending stress and deflection are below permissible limits specified in codes. The steel framework uses SHS and RHS sections that meet bending stress and deflection criteria.

DESIGN OF STEEL SUB STRUCTURE

 
A. LOADING

WIND LOAD                       

The Designed wind pressure over the steel sub frame shall be 1.4 kpa. 
   
 
  Designed Wind Pressure  =1.4 kpa         
  Glass panel Size = 0.835 x 1.617
= 1.35 Sq. Meter
Wind load on panel = 1.35 x 140
= 189 kg
Point load per glass support = 189 / 4 = 47.25 Kg 

 
 
 
STRUCTURAL CALCULATION FOR BALCONY HANDRAIL Rev : 1

With this loading conditions The  MS Framework  is Analysed using STAAD and Results are computed as follows. 

Maximum Bending stress in the steel framework as per STAAD 

Analysis = 261.6 kg/sqcm < 1650 kg/sqcm


Maximum Combined Bending stress in the MS framework as per STAAD 
Analysis = 261.6 kg/sqcm < 1650 kg/sqcm  
Maximum Deflection as per STAAD Analysis along 3.354 m span = 4.395 mm.  
Maximum Deflection as per STAAD Analysis along 1.005 m span = 4.395 mm. 

 
 
 
STRUCTURAL CALCULATION FOR BALCONY HANDRAIL Rev : 1

 
Permissible Deflection = Span /175 = 3354 / 175 = 19.165 mm. 
Permissible Deflection = Span /175 = 1005 / 175 = 5.74 mm. 
 

The steel framework  is made up of  Main Vertical frame of  steel Box section of SHS 40 x 40 x 2.6mm and  Tie 
members of RHS 60 x 40 x 2.9mm thk. is safe in Bending stress, Deflection criteria.
