Wind Load Calculation

(As per IRC 6-2017)
Basic Wind Speed (Vb) = 50 m/s
(from Fig.10, IRC 6-2017)
Height of Structure (H) = 8.5 m
Hourly Mean Wind Spped (Vz) = 27.8*50/33
(From table 12, IRC 6-2017) = 42.12 m/s
Horizental Wind Pressure (Pz) = 0.6*42.12^2
2
= 1065 N/m
Transverse wind pressure (FT) = Pz x A1 x G x CD
G= Gust Factor = 2
CD = Drag co-efficient = 2(1+c/20d) = 2.17
c= 3.25 m d= 1.90 m

FT = 4620x A1 N/m2

Considering, half of transverse wind force will be acting on bottom bracing system.
Frontal area (A1) = Half depth of girder
= 0.95 m
Load on bottom bracing = 4620*0.95/10^4
= 0.44 t/m
For calculation of force on cross girder, load on top flange is also required.
Frontal area (A1) = Half depth of girder + depth of hanch + depth of parapet wall
= 1.9*0.5+0.1+0.6
= 1.65 m
Load on bottom bracing = 4620*1.65/10^4
= 0.76 t/m
