Exposure category C ( page 251)
Kzt 1 (26.8.2)
Enclosure class Enclosed ( Ofice Builidng)
Gcpi =+/-0.18 ( Table 26.11, page 258)

4 Step.4
Determination of Velocity pressure exposure

Kh = 0.89
kz = 0.85
5 Step.5
Determination of Velocity pressure
qh = 0.613*Kh*Kzt*Kd* V2 =
939.0623625 0.94 Kpa

896.8573125 0.90 Kpa

6 Step.6
Determine external pressure co-efficient Gcp
Effective area = 2.09 x4.2 = 8.77SqM
Zone 4 -Positive(+) = 0.73
Zone 4 - Negetive(-) = -0.8
Zone 5 -Positive(+) = 0.73
Zone 5 - Negetive(-) = -1.45

7 Step.7
Calulation of wind pressure
p = qh{ ( GCP-GCPi(+)} GCPi(+) = 0.18
p = qz{ ( GCP-GCPi(-)} GCPi(-) = -0.18
P4-1 = 0.52 Kpa
P4-2 = 0.86 Kpa
P4-3 = -0.92 Kpa
P4-4 = -0.58 Kpa
P5-1 = 0.52 Kpa
P5-2 = 0.86 Kpa
P5-3 = -1.53 Kpa
P5-4 = -1.19 Kpa
