PBL title: (Structural Analysis of solar panel support system under loadings as per ASCE criteria) Location of structural system is in Islamabad. Height of the building is 24ft from ground level. Panel will be fitted on the roof. Assume that roof has been designed sufficiently to bear the load of the solar setup. Assume a 10Kw solar system to be installed. Assume any missing data as per standard engineering practice. The roof dimensions are 30×80 ft. The proposed framing is to be fabricated with MS steel sections, the size and dimensions are to be assumed. The proposed framing and dimensions are given below as a reference: – 1 2 Types of supports 3, 4 and joints at 1, 2 to be decided. Slope of beam to be decided. Length of shorter leg is fixed at 3ft 6ft Solution must include at least 1. Decide number of panels, Frame dimensions Support conditions. 2. Calculate and apply wind load as per ASCE. 3. Calculate and apply solar panel load. 4. Decide load of solar panel and apply at suitable locations of the frame as per prevailing engineering practice. 5. Slope of beams 30 35 degree or as per standard, please justify your preferred angle. 6. Analysis one exterior and one interior frame by applying moment distribution method. Key: 1. Wind load to be taken from ASCE. 2. Weight of Solar panel (585W) to be decided as per Manufacturer guidelines (LONGI, JINKO, JA solar, Canadian solar. 3. Perform all calculations by hand. 4. Draw shear force, bending moments and axial force diagrams where required. 5. Use modern tools and software to verify your analysis. 6. Present a comprehensive report and discuss your findings and conclusions. 7. Each student should avoid copying others work to avoid mark deductions. 8. Insert your name and registration number in sheets 3 and 4 and attached with the copy of report. 9. Late submissions will not be accepted.
