Load Calculations - 47 Ms

The document provides design specifications for a module mounting structure, including wind load calculations. It specifies the design standards, material properties, and details of the solar panels to be mounted. Load calculations are shown for wind loads in the positive and negative directions, considering wind pressure, panel weight, and the number and placement of support members. Forces are calculated for each structural member based on its cross-sectional properties and wind exposure.

Module Mounting Structure Design

Design Input :-

1) Design Specifications :-

Basic Wind Speed 169.200 Kmph


Terrain Category 1
Mean Probable Deisgn Life 25 yr
Class A
Topography Factor 1

2) Detail of Solar Panel :-

Panel Name waaree Solar


Panel size 1960 X 990 X 42
Panel Weight 22.5 kg.
No.of Module 2x10
Orientation Portrait
Tilt 20 degree

3) Design Standard :-

Wind load calculation IS 875 Part III-1987


Design of Coldform Members IS 801
Design of hot rolled Members IS 800

4) Material properties :-

Indian Coldform 355


hot rolled 250

5) Load Calculations :-
`
a) Wind Load :-

Wind load on structure is calculated as per (Cl 6.3 of IS 875-Part 3)


F = Cf x Ae x Pd
where ,
F Force acting on member
Cf Force coefficient
Ae Effective area
Pd Design wind pressure Design wind pressure
Module Mounting Structure Design

b) Wind Specification :-

Basic wind speed (Vb) (Clause 5.2, IS : 875 Part III) 47 m/s
Risk coefficient (K1) (Clause 5.3.1, IS : 875 Part III) 0.900
(K2) Factor (Clause 5.3.1, IS : 875 Part III) 1.05
Topography factor (k3) (Clause 5.3.3,IS : 875 Part III) 1

Vz = fx(Vbxk1xk2xk3)

Deisgn Wind Pressure (Pd) :- 0.6 x (Vz)^2


120.65 Kg/m^2
Pd 1.18 KN/m^2

c) Wind Load on member:-

Cpe ( external Pressure coeff.) 0.8


Cpi ( internal Pressure coeff.) -1.3
Length of Module 1.96 m

Positive Wind Pressure (Pd X Cpe X Length of module)/2


= 0.93 UDL KN/m

Negative Wind Pressure (Pd X Cpi X Length of module)/2


= -1.51 UDL KN/m

Weight of the Module (DL) :- 22.5 KN/m


= 0.110 UDL

Module Mounting Structure Design

0.3w load in positive wind direction :-

Total forces on all purlins (0.93*4) 3.712 kN/m


Here 0.93 is positive wind pressure multiplied with no of purlins(i.e 4)

Load is acting at (0.2* total width W =3.93 m) 0.786 m


Lever arm (Distance of C.G from Purlin) 0.786 m
Moment on C.G due to 0.3W wind = (3.712*0.786) 2.917 kN/m2

a (Inner purlin location from C.G) 396 mm


b (mid purlin from C.G) 1672 mm

Inertia 5904800 mm2


Force in a 0.20 kN/m
Force in b 0.83 kN/m

0.3 w load in negative wind direction :-

Total forces on all purlins (1.51*4) 6.032 kN/m


Here 1.51 is negative wind pressure multiplied with no of purlins(i.e 4).

Load is acting at (0.2* total width of W =3.93m) 0.786 m


Lever arm (Distance of C.G from Purlin) 0.786 m
Moment on C.G due to 0.3W wind = 6.032*0.786 4.741 kN/m2

a (Inner purlin location from C.G) 396 mm


b (Outer purlin from C.G) 1672 mm

Inertia 5904800 mm2


Force in a 0.32 kN/m
Force in b 1.34 kN/m
