DESIGN CALCULATIONS FOR THE CABANA ROOF STRUCTURE

I. General
1. Design Philosophy

The purpose of this calculation is to design the Cabana Roof structure for its
integrity, strength and stability verification. The result of this conclusion is that
the structure considered adequate in meeting the required of design criteria.

2. Unit of Measurement

Unit of measurement in design shall be in Metric system.

II. Design Calculations

1. Design Code and reference:

BS 5950 1190: Structural use of steel work in building

Wind loads area as per BS 6399 Part2, 1997
STAAD PRO – Structural Program for calculations.

2. Materials

Materials used as per the specifications.

RHS 300X200X6.3mm thick – Main structure beam
SHS 100X100X8.0mm thick – Longer Length Secondary beam
RHS 100X50X6mm thick – Smaller Length Secondary beam
The modulus of elasticity of steel – E = 210000 N/mm2
Ultimate Tensile stress – 275 N/mm2
All bolts used for main connections shall be grade 8.8 or high yield.

3. Loading

Dead Load – Self weight is considered by the program,

Calculation of Dead Loads:

Clay tiles at roof – 0.35 KN/m2

Cement Board andGlass Partition Weights – 0.20 KN/m2

Total Dead Load = 0.55 KN/m2

Live load - 0.60 KN/m2 (Roof Live Load)

The structure is located at a maximum height of 15m.

Wind loads (WL) calculated as per BS6399 Part-2 1997,

Dynamic Pressure,

qs = 0.613 X Ve2

Ve = Vs X Sb

Vs = Vb X Sa X Sd X Ss X Sp

The structure is located at a height of approximately 15m.

Basic wind speed assumed as 45 m/s.

Gust peak factor = 1.77 – Table 24 (see attached)

Basic Wind speed Vb = 45 / 1.77 = 25.42 m/s

Basic wind speed Vb = 25.42 m/sec

Where,

Altitude factor, Sa = 1.0

Directional factor, Sd = 1.0

Seasonal factor, Ss = 1.0

Probability factor, Sp = 1.0

Vs = 25.42 X 1.0 X 1.0 X 1.0 X 1.0 = 25.42 m/s

Sb = Terrain & Building factor = 1.90 (Assuming that the site is in Country and
closet distance to sea upwind is 0 KM with an effective height as 15m) – Table 4
(see attached)

Ve = 25.42 X 1.85

Ve = 47.027 = 47.027 m/sec

Wind pressure qs = 0.613 X Ve2

Wind pressure q = 0.613 x (47.027)2

Wind pressure q = 11356 N/m2 or 1.356 KN/m2

The maximum and minimum pressure co-efficients are,

Cp = +0.7, and -1.0,
 Net wind uplift Pressure = Cp X q

Net wind uplift Pressure = 0.7 X 1.356 = 0.949 KN/m2

Net wind Pressure = Cp X q

Net wind Pressure q = -1.0 x 1.356 = -1.356 KN/m2

4. Load Combinations

Design & Ultimate factors are considered.

As per BS standard,

UL = 1.4 DL + 1.6 LL

UL = 1.2 DL + 1.2 LL + 1.2 WL

UL = 1.0 DL + 1.4 WL (Upward)

UL = 1.4 DL + 1.4 WL (Downward)

UL = 1.0 DL + 1.0 LL – For Deflection check

UL = 1.0 DL + 1.0 WL – For Deflection check

UL = 1.0 DL + 0.80 LL + 0.80 WL – For Deflection check

5. Design Method

The roof structures are placed at maximum span as per the shop drawings of
1.220 m with all loadings acting on the structure.

Loads are calculated on the spacing between the structures which are as follows:

Dead Loads:
a) Self Weight to be checked from the program
b) Dead load is calculated as 0.55 X 1.220 = 0.671 KN/m

Live Loads – 0.60 X 1.220 = 0.732 KN/m

Wind Loads:
Downward wind load = 1.356 X 1.220 = 1.654 KN/m
Upward wind load = 0.949 X 1.220 = 1.158 KN/m
 To check the roof structure against all the above loading combination and to be on
factor of safety (see attached calculations made by the structural program
STAADPRO).

6. Conclusion:

All the materials used in the above mentioned Roof structure are structurally sufficient
and meets its intended purpose.
