Step 1 : Calculate the wind pressures for each level of the structure per 207.5.3:
for H =6m for H =9m for H =12m for H =14.75m
Numerical Coefficient = 4.73E-05 4.73E-05 4.73E-05 4.73E-05 4.73E-05 Numerical Coefficient =NSCP Section 207.5.10 page 2-27
Kz = 0.85 0.90 0.98 1.04 1.086 Kz =NSCP Table 207-4 page 2-25
Kzt = 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 Kzt =NSCP Section 207.5.7.2 page 2-26
Kd = 0.85 0.85 0.85 0.85 0.85 Kd =NSCP Table 207-2 page 2-23
Iw = 1.15 1.15 1.15 1.15 1.15 Iw =NSCP Table 207-3 page 2-24
V = 250.00 kph 250.00 kph 250.00 kph 250.00 kph 250.00 kph V =kph NSCP Table 207-1 page 2-23
qz = 2.46 kPa 2.60 kPa 2.83 kPa 3.01 kPa 3.14 kPa qz =kPa NSCP Section 207.5.10 page 2-27
interpolatethevalueofKzforH=14.75m:
letx=valueofKzforh=14.75m
FromTable2074p225:
Kz H
1.04 12
x 14.75
1.09 15
byr&p:
0.05 / (x 1.04 )= 3 / 2.75
0.05 = 1.090909 *(x 1.04 )
0.05 = 1.090909 *x 1.134545
x = 1.086
for H <4.5m NSCP 2010 REFERENCE GUIDE
