WIND Load calculation as per ASCE 7 -05

Project - DIC Warehouse & Offices

Building Classification = Category I (Table 1-1 Classification of Buildings)

Basic Wind speed V = 140 Km/h

(3 Second gust at 10m above Ground Level)
= 38.9 m/sec
Wind Directionality Factor Kd = 0.85 (Ref. Table 6-4)
Importance Factor I = 0.87 (Ref. Table 6-1)
Exposure category - Exposure C - Open terrain with scattered obstruction
Topography Factor Kzt = 1 (Homogenious Topography)
Gust Factor Gf = 1
Velocity Pressure coefficient Kz = 0.95 (for height of 8m & Category C)
2
Velocity Pressure qz = 0.613 Kz Kzt Kd V I
= 651.7 N/Sqm
= 0.652 KN/Sqm.

Wind Pressure p = qz Gf Cp
For Concial Roofs the Cp values can be obtained from 'Euopean design guide
for Tensile Structures'
Considering the above Table Wind Pressures for different Zones are as below:

Zone A 0.849x-0.41= -0.27 Kn/sqm

Zone B 0.849x-0.7= -0.46 Kn/sqm
Zone C 0.849x-1= -0.65 Kn/sqm
Zone D 0849x.75= 0.50 Kn/sqm
