    This document contains a worked example of calculating wind loads on a structure using three different approaches. It presents wind speed and pressure coefficient data in tables and uses that data to calculate peak velocity pressures and forces for different quadrants. In Approach 1 it finds a peak pressure of 1.02 kN/m^2. Approach 2 uses multiple directions and finds a lower peak of 0.84 kN/m^2. Approach 3 takes the most onerous values from any direction within a quadrant, finding a value between Approach 1 and 2. It then works through one quadrant in detail as an example, calculating a peak pressure of 0.24 kN/m^2 for that quadrant.

    Following Approach 2 results in a maximum peak velocity pressure


    of 0.84kN/mZ,compared to 1.02 k N / m 2from Approach 1. The peak
    velocity pressure o,f 0.84kN/m2 may he used to determine forces on
    the structure in each orthogonal direction.
    A.p.proach 3
    In Approach 3, the most onerous values of any factor are taken from
    any direction within the chosen quadrant. Quadrants may be chosen
    judiciously to produce the lowest peak velocity pressure. The lowest
    peak velocity pressure ,found by Approach 3 will never he smaller
    than that from Approach 2, but is generally less than the peak
    velocity pressure from Approach I .
    Two quadrants are demonstrated in detail, and then the results
    presented in summary form.
    Assume that the quadrants are 0" to 90" inclusive, 90" to 180"
    inclusive, etc, and taking the quadrant from 90" to 180" as an example.
    With reference to the Table in Approach 2:
    vh.0
    =23.3m/s
    maximum cdlrfrom within the quadrant 90" to 180" = 0.85 (at 180")
