2.0 DESIGN LOADS

2.1 DEAD LOAD
Dead load comprises of Self-weight of structural member and other associated fixtures and
hardware.
Density of Glass = 25 KN/m3
Dead load on panel of size 1.874 x 2.964 = (25 x 2.964 x 1.874 x 0.018)/2 = 1.250 kN
Dead load on panel of size 2.100 x 2.964 = (25 x 2.100 x 2.964 x 0.018)/2 = 1.400 kN
Dead load on panel of size 1.874x 0.809 = (25 x 0.809 x 1.874 x 0.018)/2 = 0.341 kN
Dead load on panel of size 2.100 x 0.809 = (25 x 0.809 x 2.100 x 0.018)/2 = 0.382 kN
Dead loads of glass panels are acting at quarter points (As per specifications)

2.2 LIVE LOAD

As per CWCT and Specifications

2.2.1. LIVE LOAD 1
➢ Vertical loads due to building components.
Internal ledges and framing members shall carry a vertical point load of 1 kN
or a distributed load of 0.6 kN/m whichever is most onerous.
2.2.2. LIVE LOAD 2
➢ Horizontal load
From specification, load of 0.75 kN/m load is applied either as a line load acting
at a height of 1100mm above the finished floor level, or a distributed or point
load on infill panels below this level.

2.3 WIND LOAD

Wind load of 0.8 kPa as per British standard CP3,Chapter V (1972)

Input Data:

Design wind Speed, Vs = 160 kph = 44.44 mps (As in Specification 1.7.4.2)
Height of the building, h = 33.4 m
Height above ground level, H = 4.475 m
Building Width, w = 65.409 m
Building Length, l = 90.627 m

STRUCTURAL CALCULATION OF GF CW 5
 DUBAI COMMERCITY

Design wind speed:(Clause 5.1)

Vs = V x S1 x S 2 x S 3

Where,
Vs = Design wind Speed for Entire building height = 44.44 m/s
V = Basic Wind speed
S1 = Topography factor =1.0
S3 = Statistical factor =1.0
S2 = Ground roughness, building size and height above ground factor
For Class A and Category 4 (Assumed) = 0.924

Therefore
Basic wind speed V = Vs / (S1 x S2 x S3)
= 44.44 / (1 x 0.924 x 1)
= 48.09 m/s

STRUCTURAL CALCULATION OF GF CW 6
 DUBAI COMMERCITY

For 4.475 m Height,

Design Wind speed Vs = V x S 1 x S2 x S3

= 48.09 x 1 x 0.59 x 1
= 28.37 m/s
S2 = Ground roughness, building size and height above ground factor
For Class A and Category 4 (Assumed) = 0.59

Dynamic wind pressure of the wind: (Clause 6)

q = k x Vs2

Where,
k = 0.613 in SI units (N/m2 or m/s)

q = 0.613 x 28.372
= 493.48 N/m2

The Force F acting normal to the individual structural Element: (Clause 7.2)

F = ( Cpe – Cpi )x q x A

Where,
Cpe = External Pressure coefficient
Cpi = Internal Pressure coefficient
A = Surface area of the cladding unit

External Pressure coefficient, Cpe ( Table 7)

h/w = 33.4/65.409
= 0.511
l/w = 90.627/65.409
= 1.386

Therefore building height ratio and building plan ratio is,

1 ℎ 3 𝑙 3
< ≤ ,1 < <
2 𝑤 2 𝑤 2

STRUCTURAL CALCULATION OF GF CW 7
 DUBAI COMMERCITY

External Pressure coefficient Cpe = 0.7

Internal Pressure coefficient,Cpi (Appendix E)

Internal Pressure coefficient, Cpi = -0.9

Force per Surface Area, F/A:

F/A = [(0.70-(-0.9)) * 493.48]

= 789.57 N/m2
= 0.789 kN/m2
≈ 0.80 kPa

2.4 SEISMIC LOAD

Seismic load is calculated as per chapter VI, Uniform building code, UBC 1997

Input Data:
Occupancy category = III
Seismic Zone =1
Soil profile type = SD

Lateral force acting on Non structural elements (Section 1632)

Total design lateral seismic force Fp can be determined using, (Section 1632.2)

𝐹𝑝 = 4.0 𝐶𝑎 𝐼𝑝 𝑊𝑝

Alternatively Fp may be calculated by using the formula :

𝑎𝑝 𝐶𝑎 𝐼𝑝 ℎ𝑥
𝐹𝑝 = (1 + 3 )𝑊𝑝 (1)
𝑅𝑝 ℎ𝑟

Except that:

Fp shal not be less than 0.7 Ca Ip Wp and

Need not be more than 4.0 Ca Ip Wp

Where,

hx is the element or component attachment elevation with respect to grade. hx shall not be
taken less than 0.0.
hx = 20.56 m
hr is the structure roof elevation with respect to grade. = 33.4 m
Seismic zone factor Z for zone 1 = 0.075

ap is the in-structure Component Amplification Factor (Table 16-O) = 2.50

Rp is the Component Response Modification Factor (Table 16-O) = 3.00

STRUCTURAL CALCULATION OF GF CW 9
 DUBAI COMMERCITY

Ip is the Importance factor =1

Ca is the Seismic coefficient (Table 16-Q) = 0.12

STRUCTURAL CALCULATION OF GF CW 10
 DUBAI COMMERCITY

Wp is the weight of an element or component

Therefore

𝑎𝑝 𝐶𝑎 𝐼𝑝 ℎ𝑥
𝐹𝑝 = (1 + 3 )𝑊𝑝
𝑅𝑝 ℎ𝑟

2.5×0.012×1.00 20.56
= (1 + 3 )𝑊𝑝
3.0 33.4

= 0.0284 Wp

Where,

0.7 Ca Ip Wp = 0.7 x 0.012 x 1.00 x Wp

0.084
0.28
= .0084 Wp Recheck

4.0 Ca Ip Wp = 4 x 0.7 x 0.12 x 1.00 x Wp

= 0.48 Wp

Therefore 0.0084 Wp < 0.0284 Wp < 0.48 Wp

Hence we can use Eqn (1)

2.5 THERMAL MOVEMENTS

Temperature Variation , ΔT = 70° C

Maximum Length of Mullion , L = 4475 mm
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion for Aluminum , α = 23 x 10-6
Maximum expanded length due to temperature, lt = α x L x ΔT
= 23 x 10-6 x 4475 x 70
= 7.204 mm

STRUCTURAL CALCULATION OF GF CW 11
 DUBAI COMMERCITY

As per specifications
where u added this???

Total expanded length = 7.204 + 10 + 2 = 19.204 mm

Diameter of bolt, d = 12 mm
Minimum required length of slot = 7.204 + 12 + 7.204
19.204+12+19.204 =50.408 mm

= 24.408 mm
Slotted Hole Provided = 20+12+12
30 mm (9+12+9)
=52 mm

= 30 mm > 24.408 mm
Hence Safe

3.0 ANALYSIS OF GLASS PANEL

For Glass analysis ,we have considered the maximum glass panel size and minimum thickness
of the glass.The size of the glass panel taken for analysis is 2100 mm x 2964 mm and Thickness
is 34 mm Thk DGU (12mm Thk HS + 16 mm Thk AS+ 6 mm Thk HS).The Glass plane is
verified as per ASTM E1300-12a.
6 is outside
6 +16+12

Panel size =2100 mm X 2964mm

General Description and Dimension:

Eff.Height of the glass,(Max) = 2964 mm
Eff.Width of the glass,(Max) b = 2100 mm
Thickness of Glass layer, t = 34 mm
Wind Load:
Max. Wind pressure WL = 0.8 kPa
Check for Deflection (For Wind load)
Maximum deflection (WL), δmax = 8.78 mm
Limiting deflection for wind load, δlim = Span/60 or 25mm Whichever is lesser
Short Span of the Glass panel "l" = 2100 mm
Deflection limit "δlim" = 25 mm > 8.78 mm
Hence, 12 mm HS + 16 mmThkAS + 6mm Thk HS DGU Glass is Adequate!

Short term loading:

VSk = 2.135 [kN] dV = 0.341 [mm]
dNV = 0.392 [mm]
Long term loading:
NSk = 2.930 [kN] dN = 0.769 [mm]
VSk = 2.135 [kN] dV = 0.517 [mm]
dNV = 0.926 [mm]

Comments: Tension displacements are valid with half of the required installation torque moment for uncracked concrete! Shear displacements are valid
without friction between the concrete and the anchor plate! The gap due to the drilled hole and clearance hole tolerances are not included in this
calculation!

The acceptable anchor displacements depend on the fastened construction and must be defined by the designer!

7 Warnings
• The anchor design methods in PROFIS Anchor require rigid anchor plates per current regulations (ETAG 001/Annex C, EOTA TR029, etc.). This means load
re-distribution on the anchors due to elastic deformations of the anchor plate are not considered - the anchor plate is assumed to be sufficiently stiff, in
order not to be deformed when subjected to the design loading. PROFIS Anchor calculates the minimum required anchor plate thickness with FEM to
limit the stress of the anchor plate based on the assumptions explained above. The proof if the rigid anchor plate assumption is valid is not carried out by
PROFIS Anchor. Input data and results must be checked for agreement with the existing conditions and for plausibility! 
• Checking the transfer of loads into the base material is required in accordance with EN 1992-4, Annex A!
• The design is only valid if the clearance hole in the fixture is not larger than the value given in Table 6.1 of EN 1992-4! For larger diameters of the
clearance hole see section 6.2.2 of EN 1992-4!
• The accessory list in this report is for the information of the user only. In any case, the instructions for use provided with the product have to be followed
to ensure a proper installation.
• For the determination of the Psi_re,v (concrete edge failure) a concrete cover of the edge reinforcement c = 30 mm is assumed
• The characteristic bond resistances depend on the return period (service life in years): 50

Fastening meets the design criteria!

VSk = 2.118 [kN] dV = 0.338 [mm]
dNV = 0.350 [mm]
Long term loading:

VSk = 2.118 [kN] dV = 0.513 [mm]
dNV = 0.629 [mm]

Comments: Tension displacements are valid with half of the required installation torque moment for uncracked concrete! Shear displacements are valid
without friction between the concrete and the anchor plate! The gap due to the drilled hole and clearance hole tolerances are not included in this
calculation!

The acceptable anchor displacements depend on the fastened construction and must be defined by the designer!

7 Warnings
• The anchor design methods in PROFIS Anchor require rigid anchor plates per current regulations (ETAG 001/Annex C, EOTA TR029, etc.). This means load
re-distribution on the anchors due to elastic deformations of the anchor plate are not considered - the anchor plate is assumed to be sufficiently stiff, in
order not to be deformed when subjected to the design loading. PROFIS Anchor calculates the minimum required anchor plate thickness with FEM to
limit the stress of the anchor plate based on the assumptions explained above. The proof if the rigid anchor plate assumption is valid is not carried out by
PROFIS Anchor. Input data and results must be checked for agreement with the existing conditions and for plausibility! 
• Checking the transfer of loads into the base material is required in accordance with EN 1992-4, Annex A!
• The design is only valid if the clearance hole in the fixture is not larger than the value given in Table 6.1 of EN 1992-4! For larger diameters of the
clearance hole see section 6.2.2 of EN 1992-4!
• The accessory list in this report is for the information of the user only. In any case, the instructions for use provided with the product have to be followed
to ensure a proper installation.
• For the determination of the Psi_re,v (concrete edge failure) a concrete cover of the edge reinforcement c = 30 mm is assumed
• The characteristic bond resistances depend on the return period (service life in years): 50

Fastening meets the design criteria!

Height of glass, h = 2964 mm
Spacing of toggle, S = 500 mm
Tributary width, tw = 0.5 x 2100 = 1050 mm
Wind Load on toggle, Rw = 0.8 x 0.5 x 0.525 = 0.21 kN

Check for Bending:

Thickness of toggle, tg = 3.5 mm
Eccentricity, e = 16 mm
Moment due to eccentricity, M = Rw x e

Moment Capacity of toggle, Mc = po x Syy ( po = 110.316 MPa, For 6063-T5 alloy)
