| Summary: | A performing stage similar to a mini stadium consisting of a secure railing
system was built at Taman Buaya, Ayer Keroh in 2009. The overall railing system
consists of cage guardrail, handrail, and decorative railing are installed as safety
feature and must be observed to avoid unexpected accidents. Although the maximum
stress is not exceeding the yield strength of material, a safety factor below 2 is
considered unsafe for most buildings. The failure is obvious whenever the maximum
stress from the analysis exceeds the yield strength of material. Finite element
analysis in conjunction with numerical simulation was carried out to predict the
behavior of the cage rails under load and understand the bonding characteristics at
the supports. The results obtained from the analysis software based on parameters
provided were then compared with the structural analysis to determine the accuracy
of the analytical results and the safety factor for the critical location of railings are
generated to provide strength analysis for future reference. Good comparisons are
obtained in these areas indicating that the finite element analysis has proven to be a
successful tool to analyze the behaviour of railing connections. |
