DESIGN OF SOLAR PLANT STRUCTURAL SYSTEM

FOR INDUSTRIAL METAL ROOF UPTO 10 METER HEIGHT SUITABLE

FOR WIND LOAD 169.2 KMPH.

SOLAR MODULE SIZE = 2.00 x 1.00 METER (MAX), landscape

Each module has 2 frame supports
CHECKED FOR MAXIMUM HEIGHT UPTO 10 METERS
MATERIAL USED = 345MPA STEEL

CONCLUSION OF THIS REPORT:

ALL MEMBERS ARE APPROPRIATE AND PASSING UNDER WIND LOAD OF 170 KM/HOUR WIND SPEED, WITH
DESIGN LIFE AS 25 YEARS, AND CHECKED FOR MAXIMUM HEIGHT 10 METERS, YIELD STENGTH OF STEEL SHALL
BE TAKEN AS 345 MPA.

INTRODUCTION

The structure under consideration is a solar plant for the power Generation.

Structure is designed for Basic wind speed = 170 KM/hour.

The structure will support solar cell having an aluminium frame and glass that covers solar cell.

(Note: Girder or Trusses can be used interchangeably in this design note)

Since there is an aluminium frame of high stiffness that is bolted with the frame the stiffness of
aluminium frame must be considered for local wind forces that enable reduction of unsupported length
of purlins and thus increase the bending strength of frame and restrain it in other direction.

TheFrame is resting over shed and tied with purlins (using pinned type connections).

BASIC DESIGN CRITERION

Client:

Project: Roof mounting frame for solar plant.

Self weight of structure:-

Density of steel: 7850 kg/cubic.

(The structure is analysed as space frame in staad pro. and self-weight has been generated
withself-weight command considering self-weight = 1.05 times the actual to take into account the
various connection loads as well)

Basic wind speed:-

BSP is taken as 170 KM/hour as per requirements by Client Earthquake forces:-

Calculations
Basic Wind Speed = 170 KM/H = 47M/S
Design Wind Pressure = 0.06 * Vz ^ 2
Where Vz = Vb * K1 * K2 * K3
Where Vb = Basic Wind Speed
K1 = Probability factor = 0.90 (Ref. Table 1, IS 875 Part -03) Considering Life span of structure as
25 years
K2 = Terrain Height and structural size factor = 1 (Ref. Table 1, IS 875 Part -03), Considering
terrain category 2, class A, height upto 10 meters
K3 = Topography factor = 1 (Ref. Table 1, IS 875 Part -03)
=>Vz = 47* 0.9 * 1 * 1 = 42.3
=> Design Wind pressure = 0.06* 42.3 ^2 = 107.4 Kg/Sqm approximately
Ref. Table 7 of Is 875 Part 3, for local and over all cofficients 2 staad models are generated

Load Combinations:-

The structure shall be analysed for the following load combination:

1. Dead Load

2. Dead Load + Wind load

3. Dead Load - Wind load
