WIND LOAD CALCULATION

The design wind loads are calculated according to IS : 875 ( Part 3 ) - 1987
Basic wind speed Vb = 50 m/sec
Probability Factor, k1 = 1 ( Table 1 )
Terrain, height & structure size factor k2 = 1.03 (Height up to 17 m)
Category 3 & Class C
Topography factor k3 = 1 As per Cl 5.3.3.1
For Cladded portion
Design wind speed Vz = (Vb x K1 x K2 x K3 )
(Height up to 10m) = 51.5 m/sec
Design wind Pressure pz = 0.6 x Vz2
(Height up to 17m) = 1.591 kN/m2
Wind Load on Individual Members F = (Cpe-Cpi) x A x pd
Internal Pressure Coefficient Cpi = 0.5 As per Cl 6.2.3.1 IS 875
-0.5
Percentage of openings = 5 to 20% (Assumed)

External pressure coefficient, Cpe (As per Table 15 - IS 875-part3)

For walls of rectangular cladded buildings

Height of the building h = 17.5 m

Width of the building w = 14.5 m
Length of the building I = 21.5 m
Building height ratio h/w = 17.5 / 14.5
= 1.21

Building plan ratio I/w = 21.5 / 14.5

= 1.48

Maximum External coefficient = 0.7

Maximum Net coeeficient, (Cpe-Cpi) = 0.7 - -0.5

= 1.2
