Design of Mullion For C W Wall System: Project Name

This document provides design calculations for a mullion in a curtain wall system. It calculates loads on the mullion from self-weight, glass weight, and wind loads. It then sizes the mullion based on these loads and allowed stresses. The mullion is designed to have a depth of 146mm, width of 45mm, and thickness of 2mm to withstand bending moments up to 192.5 kg-m and reactions up to 641.5 kg. Checks are performed to ensure stresses do not exceed allowable values and deflection is below limits.

ALLOWABLE STRESS FOR ALUMINIUM ALLOY 63400WP , T6 AS Per IS:8147-1976

1) Bending Tension Pbt = 96 MPa (table 4)


2) Axial Tension Pt = 85 MPa (table 4)
E = 65500 N/mm2
Unsupported length
Lxx = 3600 mm Lyy = 2325 mm

Slenderness ratios
kLx/rx = 72.54 k= 1
kLy/ry = 143.41 k= 1
< 180 ( ref. clause 8.1.1.1))

Permisible compressive stress (Fa) = 51 N/mm ( as per IS 8147 - 1976 Fig.1 )

BENDING EXTREME FIBER TENSILE STRESS


[ Using IS:8147, clause ; 8.3.3.1]
permissible Bending Tensile Stress ( Fbt) = 96 N/mm2

BENDING EXTREME FIBRE COMRESSIVE STRESS


( as per claue : 8.3.4 & Fig 2 IS 8147- 1976 )
k1 = 0.7 & k2 = 1 ( as per Table 10& 11 respetivly)
lateral unsuported Length ( Lf) = 1627.5 mm (k1 x k2 x Ly )
a/b = 3.24
ty/tx = 0.67
K1at = 2.2
therefor slenderness ratio for
l t l buckling
lateral b kli (λ att ) = 13 2
13.2 k1 t(Lf/b)0 5)
( k1at(Lf/b)0.5)
fbc = 93 N/mm2

CHECK FOR STRESSES


1a) Combined Bending & Axial Compression

f
fa + fb
fbcx + fb
fbcy = 1.41 + 59.8 + 0
Fa fbcx Fbt 51 93 96

= 0.64 < 1.0 Hence o.k.


Check for deflection

MAX. Deflection = 4.96 mm < 20.571 =Span/175


Span/175 Hence o.k.
OR 20mm Whichever is less
