2 .STAAD model and Loads
Staad model- Isometric view
3D- View
Analysis and Design of the grating has been done using Staad Pro as per BS5950 code.
Proposed Grating is Lionweld grating as below made of 30 x 3 thk flats at pitch 30x100.

30
Main load bearing flats 30 x 3 thk ,are at 30 mm C/c.
Dead load ( DL)
self weight of steel structure is calculated by STAAD programme.
Consider Ladder load = 1 kN/m being exerted on the platform respective member.
self weight of grating members 24 kg/m = 0.24 kN/m
Live load .( LL)
Platform load- 5.0 kN/m As required by the client
Load combinations:
Design Load combinations
1.4DL+1.6LL
* Service Load combinations ( For deflection check)
1.0DL+1.0LL
3 . Analysis and Design
3.1 - Grating design
Refer grating diagram above.
Total design load = 1.4DL+1.6LL
= 1.4 x 0.24 + 1.6 x 5.0
= 8.34 kN/m
Grating length = 1300 mm
\ no. of load bearing flat bars = 1300 / 30 = 43.34
Max bending moment in the grating panel =
consider this UDL full on the grating span 8.34 x 1.3 = 11 kN/m
900
Bending moment = 11 x 0.9 / 8 = 0.11 kNm
Moment capacity = 43.34 x (1.2 py.Z) = 43.34 (1.2 x 275 x 3 x 30 / 6)
= 6.45 kNm > actual moment
Hence safe

= 1.03 mm
Allowable deflection = span / 200 = 1300 / 200 = 6.5 mm
Actual deflection < allowable deflection
Hence safe
3.2 Chemical Anchor Connection between UC 152X152X23 & concrete roof.
Fx = 6 kN
Fy = 78 kN
Fz = 1 kN
Use 152x152 x20 thk base plate for columns.
It is proposed to use 8 no. M20 HILTI chemical anchor bolts
max tension in bolt due to Fz = 25 /4 = 6.25 kN
Max shear in bolt = Fy / 8 = 78 /4 = 19.5 kN
Refer HILTI chemical anchor bolt catalogue :: HVU adhesive with HAS rod.

Combined capacity = 6.25/41.3 + 19.5 / 25 = 0.94 < 1.4
Hence safe

3.3 Bolted connection between main member UC 152x152x23 to secondary members CH 125x65x15.
max axial force in hanger members = 10kN
provide 2M12 through bolts, BS grade 8.8
max tension per bolt = 10/2 = 5 kN
capacity of M12 bolt in tension = 37.8 kN > actual design tension
Provide 12 thk end plate .. Hence safe
4. Conclusion :
The proposed grating made of 30 x 3 thk flat at pitch 30 mm c/c and the support system
is structurally safe.
Deflections are within allowable limit.
The proposed connections are structurally safe.
