LOAD ASSUMPTIONS & COMBINATIONS
LOAD ASSUMPTIONS & COMBINATIONS

Units
All units are specified in MKS system for solving equations. Forces are in KGs and moments
are in KG-M.

Sign Convention
Positive sign indicates compression and negative sign indicate Tension.

Dead Weight
The dead weight is assumed including all fittings. Absorption of liquid is not possible, so any
addition in the dead load due to water ingress is not possible.

Imposed Loads
Referring to the table 2 Clause 4.1 of IS 875 (Part 2)
For sloping roof with access only for Maintenance is as below
= 0.25 KN / M²
25.48 KG / M² = SAY 26 KG / M² Taken 26 KG / M²

Wind Loads
For Noida, UP basic wind speed, Vb is 50 m/s. (As per NBC - 2016)
Basic wind speed is modified according to following factors
Vz = Vb * k1 * k2 * k3 * k4
k1 = Risk factor considering All General Buildings and structures.
life in years = 25, k1 = 0.9 (Table 4, Clause 4.4.3.1)
k2 = Factor considering terrain & height. Terrain category as 2
K2 = 1.05 (Ht. <= 15.0m) (Table 5, Clause 4.4.3.2.2
k3 = Topography factor. The site is almost surrounded by flat land, k3 = 1.0
(Clause 4.4.3.3)
k4 = Importance factor for cyclonic region. All other Structures (Clause 4.4.3.4),
k4 = 1.00
Vz = 50 x 0.9 x 1.05 x 1.00 x 1.00 = 47.25 m/s (For 15m Height)
The Structure being designed is of Unique Shape & Size. It Consists of 2 Kite aligned &
combined in a manner to attain design Intent. Kindly Refer GA Drawing for More details. As
this Shape is unique & no reference for Wind load calculations are found in any code Indian &
International, CFD approach is used for Wind Pressure Generation over Tensile Membrane
Structure. Steps followed are as below.

5) CFD Mesh Parameter Selection

For Tensile Membrane – Membrane Fine / Superfine with Data used.

This allows us to compute Cp & P Values in TCFD & Return back to IxCube for Further Design.

For RCC Building – Fine No Data Used.

As we do not want any Cp & P value over RCC building this option used. This Saves
Computation time.

6) CFD Analysis in TCFD

IxCube 4-10 & TCFD 19.1 are interlinked with each other.
Fabric Mesh along with Wind Speed & Wind Tunnel parameters are transferred to TCFD. CFD
Analysis is carried out in TCFD. Pressure Coefficients Cp & Pressure P values are transferred
back to IxCube 4-10 for Fabric Analysis.

EXPLANATION ON COMPUTER PROGRAM USED.
EXPLANATION ON COMPUTER PROGRAMME USED

The Determination of Fabric Forces is done with the programme IxCube 4-10. Fabric Forces
are transferred to Staad-Pro along with Steel Structure. Compilations of the maximal loads in
respective groups of 3D beam elements are relevant for the dimensioning of the steel
structure.

Suitability of the fabric is verified using IxCube 4-10 software.

The shape that has been finalized for fabric is solved in IxCube 4-10 software along with
structural element of the system in Non-linear static mode with material properties and
fixities as defined in IxCube 4-10.

Axis Definition

For IxCube 4-10 - Positive Z-axis is considered as perpendicular to ground. Gravitational force
is considered –9.81 m/sec sq.
