Common Issue: Structural Stability Under Wind Load

A recurring concern in padel court construction, as outlined in the document, is ensuring structural stability under high wind loads. The standard specifies rigorous wind resistance testing (e.g., simulating a Category 13 typhoon with wind speeds of 37–41.4 m/s) and calculations to verify that tempered glass panels, metal frames, and anchoring systems (e.g., M16 expansion bolts) can withstand dynamic wind pressures (1.82 kN/m²). Common challenges include:

Deformation or displacement: Ensuring glass panels and frames do not tilt or sustain permanent deformation under wind forces.

Anchor failure: Validating shear and bending resistance of bolts (e.g., 12 M16 bolts must collectively withstand 54.6 kN shear and 546 kN tensile loads).

Load distribution: Proper transfer of wind loads through columns, beams, and foundations to prevent localized stress points.

The document emphasizes compliance with GB50009-2012 and GB50057 standards, highlighting wind load calculations and material durability as critical for coastal or typhoon-prone regions.
