DESIGN OF WIND PRESSURE:

MWFRS = Main Wind Force Resisting Systems

for Low-Rise Buildings with h 18m

Wind Pressure, P:
P = qh[(GCp) - ( GCpi)] (NSCP 2010, 207.5.12.2.1, pg. 2-28)

Velocity Pressure, qh:

qh = 47.3 x 10-6 Kz Kzt Kd V2 Iw (NSCP 2010, 207.5.10, pg. 2-27)

Where:
GCp = external pressure coefficients given in figure 207-11 through 207-16
GCpi = internal pressure coefficient given in figure 207-5
qh = velocity pressure evaluated at mean roof height h using exposure
Kz = velocity pressure exposure coefficient given in Table 207-4, NSCP 2010
depending on the height of structure
Kzt = topographic factor as defined in Section 207.5.7
Kzt = 1.0 for all other conditions
K1K2K3 = multipliers in Fig. 207-4 to obtain KZT
Kzt = (1 + K1K2K3)2
Kd = wind directionality factor in Table 207-2.
V = basic wind speed in km/hour
Iw = importance factor from Table 207-3

Solving for Values:

a. Solving for qh
qh = 47.3 x 10-6 Kz Kzt Kd V2 Iw
qh = 47.3 x 10-6 (0.722) (1.0) (0.85) (200)2 (0.85)
qh = 0.987

b. Solving for P
P = qh[(GCp) - ( GCpi)]
Windward
P = (0.987)[(0.85)(0.80) - (0)]
P = 0.671 kPa
Leeward
P = (0.987)[(0.85)(-0.50) - (0)]
P = -0.419 kPa

Therefore, use P = 0.671kPa
