Introduction

This report is to illustrate whether anchor bolt connection detail of the handrail to the
concrete wall inside the bored tunnel at walkway column is acceptable and complied
with BS standard code.

Tunnel wall is made of concrete with reinforcement and have a thickness of 275mm.
Handrail is bolted to the concrete wall at 2.4m spacing centers. Top chord of handrail
is made of 50x1.2mm thick SS304 tube 2B polished while bottom chord of handrail
is made of 50x1.2mm thick 90 SS304 tube Elbow 2B polished. Handrail is bolted
to the wall using 5mm thick x 75mm(H) x 100mm(W) SS304 plate and 2 number of
Hilti drop in galvanized anchor bolts M12x100mm(L).

Design Information

1. BS5950: 1:2000 Structural Use of Steelwork in Building

2. BS6399: Code of Practice for Dead and Imposed Loads
Refer to Table 4 Horizontal loads on parapet and balustrades
Horizontal load is 3KN/m UDL loads

Calculations

Conclusion
It is concluded that using 2 numbers of M12 Hilti anchor bolts and SS 304 plate 5mm
thick x 75mm height x 100mm wide is acceptable.
