Material Properties

Alloy type = T5 Extrusion

Limiting Stress for Bending = 160 N/mm 2 (Data from Supplier)
Limiting stress for tension or compression = 110 N/mm 2
Limiting stress for shear = 85 N/mm 2

Imposed Loading

Construction load = 1.5 kN/m 2 applied at 2.0 m from the finished floor level. However the most critical load case is the
wind load as provided in this report.

The Building

The building is a 3 Storey Building with a lower ground floor level set at 15.7 m.

The wind load has been calculated for each building heights as per the table below:
 Buiding Height
Wind Load, q (kN/m2) l/w h/w Cp qs (kN/m2)

Design Philosophy

We have undertaken the design of CG3

A table summarizing the specification of the main members has been provided at the end of this section. It should further
be noted that the design of the connection of the mullion to the floor has been provided for the most critical reaction
at the end of the report.

The design philosphy adopted is as follows:

1. Check for the Moment Capacity of the Section > Ultimate Applied Bending Moment on the Section considered
2. Check that the Actual Deflection < Permissible Deflection
3. Check the capacity of the screws for the Frame
4. Check the connection of the bolts for the most critical reaction for the Mullion

Furthernote that the glazing thickness has been designed in line with the requirements of BS 6262: Part 3: 2005 and ASTM E 1300
