In order to verify the load carrying capabilities of blind bolts, a series of tests have been performed at the University of Manchester on M10, M20 and M24 bolts. This report details the testing and analysis of these bolts for design to both the British Standards and the Eurocodes.
A total of 77 tests were performed: 9 coupon tests to determine the material strength; 14 pure tension tests to determine the tensile resistance of the bolts; 15 pure shear tests to determine the shear resistance of the bolts; 18 combined tension and shear tests to validate the design equations in BS 5950-1 and BS EN 1993-1-8; and 21 bearing tests to establish the performance of the bolts in bearing. An analysis of each type of test was performed using the methodology in BS EN 1990, and a series of design rules, based on current practice for standard bolts, has been proposed. In general, these follow the current rules using modified areas as appropriate, except for the tensile resistance of blind bolts where a reduced strength, determined from the tests, is used. The test results also showed that the combined tension and shear equations in both BS 5950-1 and BS EN 1993-1-8 can be adopted for blind bolts.
A suggested presentation of the technical information for direct use by structural designers has been proposed in Appendix A. This report has been prepared by Mr Andy Smith and reviewed by Mr David Brown, both of the SCI.

Namaste Tower in Mumbai..Another Civil Engeering Marvel
LOWER PAREL
The Namaste tower! Designed by the Atkins design studio, work IS currently underway on this 300m-62 storeyed mixed use tower that will encompass a hotel, office and retail space.
The location is Ambika mills which is a couple hundred meters south of the The developer of the project is unknown.
The renders and text were submitted by Atkins to the World Architecture Festival in Barcelona (3-5 Nov 2010).
Namaste: Hotel and Office Tower
Category: Future Projects - Commercial
Location: Mumbai, India
Architects: WS Atkins, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Atkins, United Arab Emirates
Following the long tradition of great Indian Architecture it was our aim that the Namaste Tower will stand as a landmark structure, representative of the burgeoning economic and cultural significance of India. We aimed to design a building that would become representative of the city: the picture postcard of Mumbai.
Key Statistics:
120,000 m2 of Gross Construction Area
380 key luxury hotel
Exclusive restaurants, bars, banqueting and spa facilities
9,000 m2 of A grade office space
6,000 m2 of world class retail space
300 m overall building height
"Namaste"
The traditional Indian greeting of "Namaste", where the hands are clasped together in greeting, is the inspiration for the design of this tower. In Sanskrit "Namaste" means "I bow to you".. It has a spiritual significance of negating one's ego in the presence of another.
The Architecture of the Namaste Hotel builds on this ancient Indian expression. The two wings of the hotel are clasped together like hands greeting the city of Mumbai. In this way the architectural design of the hotel provides the ultimate symbol of hospitality and welcome, as seen in the as seen in the cultural context of India.
Visual Relationships to and from the Site
With a proposed height of 300 m the tower will be seen from a distance of more than 40 km. Therefore the visual appearance of the project as a major landmark is of great importance to the city of Mumbai.
Views from the tower will extend to the South over the Mahalkshi Race course towards the Mumbai Peninsula and to the South West over the Indian Ocean. The views to the north East are towards a number of adjacent towers that are currently being constructed. The orientation and massing of the tower have been designed in order to make the very best of these visual relationships.
The Building Skin
The tower has been designed to cater for large scale Indian weddings. The occasion of a Mehndi ceremony (where the hands and feet of the bride and groom are decorated with henna) is often one of the most important pre-wedding rituals in India.
The design seeks to build on the theme of the clasped hands by referencing the intricate Mehndi patterns through the treatment of the building skin. The tower is will be clad in fritted glazing that combines to form an architectural scale graphic on the exterior of the building. This will create a sense of transparency and depth to the building while at the same time helping to maintain the thermal qualities required to meet the building's envelope design criteria.
It is proposed that the large scale canopies over the drop-off points area support an array of solar thermal collectors. Given the available surface area and annual sunlight conditions these have the potential to provide 12% of the energy required to heat the hot water for the hotel.
General Arrangement
The tower is made up of two separate wings (or hands) which together form the architectural expression of "Namaste". The space between the wings forms the corridor spaces. At either end of the corridor space a pair of open atria will offer hotel guests dramatic framed views out over the city.
Internal Atrium Gardens
These atria also serve to bring natural light deep into the plan. At the plant floor levels these atria are broken with internal gardens that serve to bring greenery into the corridor and atrium spaces. It was a central design aim to ensure that the circulation areas of the hotel, (including corridors) are just as impressive as the rooms themselves.
The Podium
The geometry of the podium is designed to integrate fully with the design of the tower. Thus it is a highly symmetrical form that responds to the wing like canopies above the drop off. Containing mostly retail, the facade of the podium is activated with water features and fountains that cascade down to street level.
The Summit
At the summit of the building a generous quadruple height atrium space encloses a Sky Restaurant and Bar which will provide a unique vantage point for patrons to gain panoramic views out over the city.
