| Abstract [eng] |
In the European union the “European Technical Approval Guidelines 034” is used for External wall cladding process. It’s a type of protective layer where it can control weather and noise pollution. The guidelines enumerates for the purpose of external wall cladding installation, a bracket design , where the brackets are attached with panels. In cladding the bracket is made of steel and the connecting rod is aluminium where the corrosion The displacement of the bracket changes due to constant load. Studies have shown that by changing the design and material properties the strength of the bracket is increased. In this research work we had the specimens made of structural steel (S 235). A new design is implemented for the bracket using solid modelling computer aided design and computer aided engineering Solid Works. Designed bracket is analysed in commercial solver Ansys (non – linear analysis and bi-linear method was used). The decision on this analysis was arrived after conducting a tensile test on the specimens (structural steel S 235), from this test it was understood that this is a non linear material. Three different materials (alloyed steel, unalloyed steel and a structural steel) where analysed using the same methodology. By improving design the strength of the bracket is improved and also by using different materials the capacity of the bracket is increased. To improve the bonding of zinc coating with steel a resin can be used so, the corrosion is reduced. |
