WIND LOAD CALCULATION AS PER EURO CODE

INPUT DETAILS:
Basic wind velocity Vb = 40 m/s
Terrain category Cr(Ze) = 0
Diameter of circular element b= 0.5 m
length of circular element l= 16 m
max height above the ground Z= 16 m
galvanised
surface type = steel
Orography factor w.r.to height (Ze) Co(Ze) = 1
structural factor CsCd = 1
1) Reference area and height:

height above ground (Ze) Z= 16.0 m

Area reference (l.b) Aref = 8.00 m²
terrain roughness Kr = 0.156
Cr(Ze) =Kr. Cr(Ze) = 1.339
In(𝑍𝑒/𝑍0)
Kr
=0.19.(𝑍0/(𝑍0,𝐼𝐼))0
.07
2) Mean wind velocity:

"Vm(Ze) "= "Cr(Ze)

.Co(Ze).Vb" Vm(Ze) = 53.562 m/s
3) wind turbulence:
Iv(Ze) =Kl/[C0(Ze) . Kl = 1
In(𝑍𝑒/𝑍0)] Iv(Ze) = 0.117
4) Peak velocity pressure:
ρ= 1.25 Kg/m³
"qp(Ze) "=(1+7.𝐼𝑣(𝑍𝑒)).(1/2).ρ.𝑉𝑚(𝑧𝑒)²
qp(Ze) = 3.26 KN/m²
V(Ze) = 72.222 m/s
5)Reynolds number:
v= 0.000015 m²/s
"Re"="b.V(Ze) b= 0.5
/v" Re = 2407396
end effect factor Ψλ = 0.825
equivalent surface roughnes k= 0.2
force coefficient without free-end flow k/b = 0.0004
Cf,0 = 0.825
6) force coefficient:
"Cf"="Cf,0." Ψλ Cf = 0.68

7) Total wind force:

Fw = 17.7344 KN
"Fw"="CsCd . Cf .
q"p(Ze).Aref
8) Effective wind pressure:
Weff = 2.22 KN/m²
"Weff"="Fw/Aref
"
 "Weff"="Fw/Aref
9) Uniformly distributed"load on tower structure W = 1.11 KN/m
