WIND LOAD CALCULATION FOR CW-3 ALL AREA

DYNAMIC WIND SPEED BASED ON CP3: CHAPTER V : PART 2 :1972

Basic Wind Speed V = 33 m/sec


Design Wind Speed Vs = V*S1*S2*S3
Where S1 = Topography factor
S2 = Ground rougnness factor
Class A Roughness 2
S3 = Statistical factor
Dynamic pressure q = K*(Vs)2
K 0.613
Calculation of Dynamic wind Pressure q:

H V S1 S2 S3 Vs K q
(m) m/sec m/sec kN/m2

Cp (pressure) @ General Areas = 0.7- (-0.3) = 1.00


Cp (Suction) @ corners = -1- (0.2) = -1.20
Cp (Suction) @ General Areas = -0.6- (0.2) = -0.80

Wind Load (pressure) @ General Areas Cpxq = 1x0.75 = 0.80
Wind Load (Suction) @ corners Cpxq = -1.2x0.75 = -0.90
Wind Load (Suction) @ General Areas Cpxq = -0.8x0.75 = -0.60
