8.0 Pressure Plate Design: Check For Bending

This document summarizes the design of a pressure plate and screws for a glass curtain wall subject to wind loads. It calculates wind loads on the glass and pressure plate, checks the bending capacity of the 1mm thick aluminum pressure plate, and verifies the shear, tension, and pullout capacity of 5.5mm diameter screws spaced 300mm apart. All checks show the design is safe and meets the required factors of safety.

0 PRESSURE PLATE DESIGN

Wind load, W = 1.60 kPa


Width of glass,b = 1007 mm
Height of glass, h = 2400 mm
Tributary width, tw = 0.5 x 1007 = 503.5 mm
Wind Load on pressure plate, Rz = 1.60 x 0.504 = 0.8064 KN/m
Check for Bending:
Thickness of pressure plate, tp = 1 mm
Eccentricity, e = 17 mm
Considering 1mm strip,
Moment due to eccentricity, M = Rz x e = 0.8064 x 0.017
= 0.0137 KNm
Section Modulus, Syy = 1 x tp2/6 = 0.167 mm3
Actual bending stress of Aluminium pressure plate, fb = M/ Syy
= 0.0137 x 1000 / 0.167
= 82.088 Mpa
Allowable bending stress of 6063-T6 , Fb = 160 MPa
Pressure plate Bending Capacity = fb / Fb
= 0.51 < 1
Hence safe
8.1 CHECK FOR PRESSURE PLATE SCREW

Wind Load, WL = 1.60 kPa


Width of Cap, Wc = 12 mm
Distance between couple Force, Sf = 42 mm
Spacing of Screw, Ss = 300 mm
Distributed Load on Aluminium Fin, w = WL x Wc
= 0.0192 N/mm
Couple Force due to Fin, Rf = w x (0.5 x Wc) / Sf
= 0.002743 N/mm
Diameter of Screw, d = 5.5 mm
Ultimate Tensile Strength of Screw, Ub = 700MPa (As Per AAMA-TIR-A9)
Yield Strength of Screw, Yb = 450MPa (As Per AAMA-TIR-A9)
Number of Thread per mm, Nt = 0.945/mm
Tensile Stress Area, As = 0.7854 x ( d – 0.9743 / Nt)2
= 18.014mm2
Thread Root Area, Ar = 0.7854 x ( d – 1.2269 / Nt)2
= 16.059mm2
Internal Thread Stripping Area, TSAI = 12.258mm2
External Thread Stripping Area, TSAE = 8.387mm2
Allowable Shear Stress on Screw, Fvs = min ((0.4xUb/√3) , (0.75xYb/√3))
= 161.65MPa
Allowable Tensile Stress on Screw, Fts = 0.4 x Ub
= 280 MPa
CHECK FOR SHEAR
Maximum Shear Force Per Screw, Fsmax = w x Ss
= 0.00576 kN
Allowable Shear Force, Fsallow = Fvs x Ar
= 2.595 kN
Shear Ratio = Fsmax / Fsallow < 1
= 0.0022 < 1,
Hence Safe.
CHECK FOR TENSION
Maximum Tension Force Per Screw, FTmax = (2 x (Rz + Rf )- Rf) x Ss)
= 0.613 kN
Allowable Tension Force, FTallow = Fts x Ar
= 4.496 kN
Tension Ratio = FTmax / FTallow < 1
= 0.136 < 1,
Hence Safe.
CHECK FOR COMBINED STRESS RATIO
Combined Stress Ratio = (Fsmax / Fsallow)2 + (FTmax / FTallow)2 < 1
= 0.136 < 1,
Hence Safe.

CHECK FOR TENSION OR PULLOUT STRENGTH

Allowable Shear Strength, V Allow = 95 N/mm2


Length of Screw Engagement provided, LEP = 15 mm
Length of Screw Engagement required, LER = (LEp – (1/ Nt)) x 0.4 x VAallow x TSAI x Nt
= 6.31 kN
Major Radius of Screw, R = 0.5 x d = 2.75 mm
Minor Radius of Screw, r = 2.29 mm
Angle Defining limit of Screw, α = 2 x a x cos(r/R) = 1.174 rad
Ratio of engagement, Re = R2 x ((α-sin(α)) / (∏ x (R2 – r2))
= 26.106%
Effective Length of Fastener, Peff = Re x LER = 1.64 kN
Screw Pullout Capacity, Spcapacity = FTmax / Peff < 1
= 0.405 < 1,
