1. Introduction: The sculptures are in pedestrian zone which is protected by bollards.

Therefore not been designed for vehicle impact. Sculpture consists of a solid acrylic block connected to steel I section with the help of base plate and 8no.of bolts, 2no. of steel bracket plate of 8mm thickness connected both above and below the acrylic block. Further 5mm thick stainless steel shell in two halves is provided for aesthetic purpose and all these are supported on 2 no. of granite blocks and lastly the whole arrangement is supported on an unreinforced mass concrete pad foundation designed for minimum allowable bearing pressure of 500kN/m2. The granite plinths originally supported another sculpture which had to be removed because of structural failures and it seems the intention is to reuse the plinths to support an alternative. 2. General Information from drawing: 1. Solid acrylic block: Designed for maximum weight of 1400kg. 2. 4 or 5mm thick stainless steel shell in two halves grade 1.4404(=316L) 3. 2No. brackets above and below acrylic block fabricated from 8 mm steel plate. 4. 2No. bolts above and below to connect bracket plate with acrylic block. Each bolt able to resist tensile force of 5kN and shear force of 3kN.(Factored ultimate forces) 5. 152 x 152 x 30 UC aligned with centre of gravity of acrylic block. 6. 8No. bolts to connect UC with acrylic block. 7. 20mm thick stainless steel base plate with hole for cable duct. 8. 2No. granite blocks of size 1000 x 750mm. 9. Unreinforced mass concrete pad foundation design for minimum allowable bearing pressure of 50kN/m2. Concrete grade C30 or better. 10. Dia. of cable duct is 80mm. 3. Information nor received: 1. Thickness of the base plate connecting UC with the acrylic block. 2. Connection between brackets and UC. 4. Loads to be considered: 1. Self weight of the sculpture. 2. Wind pressure of 1 kN/m2. 3. Vertical load equal to 1.5kN = one person jumping or two people standing on sculpture. 4. Horizontal load equal to 1.5 kN/m. 5 Assumptions for design 1. Density of solid acrylic block is 2. Density of steel is 3. Density of concrete is 4. Density of Granite block is 5. Assume the simplified rectangular shape of a steel shell thickness 5mm

6 Dimensions: 1. Size of acrylic block is 1000 x 1000 x 1000. 2. Universal column 152x152x30mm ( D=157.6, B=152.9, T=9.4, d=123.6,t=6.5), mass per m i.e. 30 kg/m. (corus_BS4_sections_brochure). Wind load is acting across the full length of the column so the total horizontal force dur to wind is 1.5 * 2.286*.1529=
