1. INTRODUCTION:
The document presents the Curtain wall Frame Structural Calculation of NOVA Care
Hospital Building, which is located at Islamabad, Pakistan.
2. OBJECTIVES:
The objectives of the Project are mentioned below.
a) Basic Wind Load Calculation.
b) Structural Frame Analysis.
c) Cover Cap Analysis.
d) Pressure Plate Analysis.
3. CALCULATION METHODOLOGY:
First, the basic wind load is calculated in accordance with ASCE 7-16, considering that
wind pressure acts perpendicular to the exposed surfaces of the structure from all directions. This
wind load is then applied to the structural frame to evaluate its stresses and deflection using
SAP2000.

Demand / Capacity of section D/C 0.67 < 1 SAFE
11.3 Check Tension Capacity of screw of 4.83mm
Total Load Ptot = 1.5*(PWL) 1.92 KN
Specified Tensile strength Ub 700 MPa
Minimum Tensile strength f0.2 450 MPa
Area of steel As 11.6 mm2
Limiting stress PT min (0.7*Ub*f0.2)
Limiting stress PT 450 MPa

NOTE:
The pressure plate is to hold the glass against the recoil load of glass against the wind. So we
check the pressure plate thickness against the stresses.
