LOADING - on Handrail
(a) Horizontal Load UDL, kN/m
Horizontal Load = 0.74 kN/m , Table 4, Fourth Schedule
Width of Barrier = 1m
Moment = 0.74 x 1 ^2 / 8x 1.6 = 0.148 kNm
Force = 0.74 x 1 x 1.6 = 1.184 kN
Force per support = 1.184 / 2 = 0.592 kN
Design of Handrail
Handrail size = 50 x 25 x 3mm thk RHS handrail
Thickness = 3 mm
Moment = 0.220 kNm
Allowable fb(stainless Steel) = 215 N/mm2 Py ( Stainless Steel )
Zxx, req'd = M/fb = 0.22 x 1000000 / 215 = 1023 mm3
Zxx, provided = 3.1964 cm3 = 3196 mm3
Hence, the section provided is OK OK
Welded Connection
Weld Thickness, t = 3 mm all round
Effective Weld Thk., te = 2.1 mm (te=0.707*t)
Design Strength, Fw = 215 N/mm(Table 36, Clause 6.6.5.1 BS5950)
