Title:             A Case study on the structural design of honey comb core metal panel
Authors:      Muhammad Tayyab Naqash
Abstract:    The here presented paper deals with the structural calculation for the honey comb core metal panels of the jk1 building located in doha, qatar. The wind pressure of 1.2 kpa [1] is considered for the assumed basic wind speed is 25m/s as per qatar construction standards [2]. The curtain walls consist of quadroclad™ façades qc25-25 panels [3] i.e., aluminium sandwich panel quadroclad qc25-25 which is a 25mm thick with a 23mm honeycomb core that is sandwiched by two outer facing skins of 1mm top and bottom aluminium thickness. Stresses and deflections are obtained from the numerical model [4] for the sandwich panels and the supporting members and are found safe according to different acceptance criterion [5-10]. The adequacy of bracket and anchors is also checked using abaqus nonlinear code [11] and hilti profis [12] software. Aluminum sandwich panel of 1540 x 3000 with an intermediate member is analyzed and verified.
