Louver Report Rev02

This document provides structural calculations for aluminum louver fittings that are 3.4 meters wide for a villa development project. It details the geometry of the louver components, materials used, applicable codes and standards, loading considerations including wind and dead loads, and design checks for the adequacy of the aluminum profiles in terms of moment resistance and deflection criteria. Key checks show the louver connection and central mullion can safely support the calculated loads with sufficient strength and deflection allowances.

INTRODUCTION

This document covers the load calculations, static analysis, and check for the adequacy
of Aluminium profiles used in terms of Moment resistance and deflection crietriera,
for the Aluminium louver coming in various locations in the Project.Here typical unit
with 3400m width is taken into consideration for analysis.
2.0 GEOMETRY
1. Outer boarder made of Aluminum Gulf extrusion profile No-13906 with 10765
2. Lover blade section used is GE Profile- 09153
3. Middle Mullion is made up of T-section GE Profile -13133

3.0 MATERIAL
The main frame of the canopy is made up of Aluminum Gulf Extrusion profiles.
4.0

CODES AND STANDARDS


BS 8118 Structural use of Aluminum.

5.0 LOADINGS
In addition to the self-weight of the frame structure the wind load is taken into
account.
Dead Load
Self Weight:
1. Unit weight of Aluminum

= 27 KN/M 3

Wind Load
Wind load corresponding to basic wind speed of 25m/s is considered as per BS: 6399
part II and standard method is used to calculate the wind pressure.
The maximum wind load

The dynamic pressure is given by


qs

= 0.613Ve2

Ve = effective wind speed ( Clause 2.2.3, BS: 6399 part 2) Refer Separate
calculation attached
Wind pressure calculated
= 0.7 KN/M2

5.2 Load Considerations


The following load combinations which is the maximum expected critical load
combination is taken for the design of the structure.

1. 1Dead load
2. 1Wind load

6. DESIGN CHECKS
The Louver connection is considered as a simply supported at both ends.

Moments of inertia: Ixx: 108765mm4


Iyy: 18230mm4
Maximum unsupported span = 1800mm
Self weight of blade
= 0.528 kg/M=0.00528 N/m
Youngs Modulus E for Aluminum = 70000 N/mm2
Relevant Moment of Inertia ,Ixx
=108765 mm4

Max Bending Moment


Moment resistance offered

= wL2 /8 = .00528x2.352/8
=.0038 KNm
= section modulus x allowable stress
=( Ixx/38.96)x110 = (108765/38.96)x110
= 307088Nmm =0.307 KNm >>.0038 KNm

Hence safe
Deflection ( self weight)

Allowable deflection

= 5wL4/(384EI)
= 5x .00528x23504/(384x70000x108765)
= 0.275mm
= L/175 = 2350/175 = 13.42mm

Actual deflection << allowable Hence safe

Check for wind load


Wind load acting on one blade = .7x(77/1000)x1 =.0539 KN/m
= .0539 N/mm
Max bending Moment
= .0539x1.82/8 =.0218 KNm
Moment resistance offered

= section modulus x allowable stress


=( Iyy/14.16)x110 = (18230/14.16)x110
= 141617 Nmm =0.141 KNm > .0218 KNm

Hence safe
Deflection

= 5x .0539x23504/(384x70000x18230) = 16.7mm

Allowable deflection = 2350/175 =13.42 mm


Actual deflection > allowable deflection. WHICH IS NOT DESIRABLE.

By providing one additional mullion with same section 13133 in the middle, the span
reduces to 1175mm.
Controlled deflection = 5x .0539x11754/(384x70000x18230) = 1.04mm<< allowable
deflection 6.71 (1175/175). Hence safe.

6.1 Check for central vertical mullion


The central mullion is checked for the strength against horizontal force transferred by
the louvers.

Moments of inertia Ixx = 784153 mm4


Iyy = 287497mm4
Load transferred by louver
Considering 15 Louvers per meter Load / meter =(15x.7x.077x1.175)=0.949KN/m

Max bending Moment

= 0.949x2.22/8 =.57 KNm

Moment resistance offered

= section modulus x allowable stress


=( Ixx/56.87)x110 = (784153/56.87)x110
= 1516736Nmm =1.516KNm > .57 KNm

Hence safe
Deflection

= 5x .57x22004/(384x70000x784153) = 3.16mm

Allowable deflection = 2200/175 =12.5mm


Actual deflection < allowable deflection. Hence safe

Check for Top horizontal member

Moments of inertia: IXX = 122067 mm4


I YY = 619629 mm4
Load transferred by central mullion =0.949X2.1/2=0.996 KN ( concentrated load)

The model consists of the load transferred from Mullions as concentrated load to the top
transom having supports at both ends.

Max bending Moment

= Pa = 0.996x1.175 =1.17 KNm

P = 0.996 KN =949 N
a= 1.175
Moment resistance offered

= section modulus x allowable stress


=( Iyy/56.19)x110 = (619629/56.19)x110
= 1213012Nmm =1.21KNm > 1.17KNm

Hence safe
Deflection

= Pa(3L2-4a2)/24EI
= 949x1175x(34002-4x11752)(24x70000x619629)
= 6.46mm

Allowable deflection = 3400/175 =19.4mm


Actual deflection < allowable deflection. Hence safe

The frame is supported at both sides by 4 set of fixing screws.

Load 1

Total load acting on horizontal screws


Total horizontal load on one side = (.996x2+.495x2 ) = 2.97 KN

Load on one screw

= 2.97/4= .74 KN

Providing 4mm dia SS screw ( allowable strength 205N/mm2)


Area of one screw =12.56 mm2
Strength of one screw

=12.56x205 /1000 = 2.57KN > 0.74 KN hence safe
