WIND LOAD CALCULATION

 Wind Load Calculation, BNBC 1993
Building Location = Dhaka

Exposure Condition = A

Basic Wind Speed, Vb =210 km\h [Table: 6.2.8]

Velocity to Pressure Coefficient, Cc = 47.2×10-6

Structural Important Category = IV

Structural Important Coefficient, CI = 1 [Table: 6.2.9]

Sustained Wind Pressure, qz =CcCICzVb2

= [47.2×10-6×1×Cz× (210)2]

=2.082Cz

Gust Coefficient, Cg =1.324 [Table: 6.2.11]

Height of Building, h = (10×6) = 60 ft

Wind Parallel Value, L = 15.58m (51’10”)

Wind Perpendicular Value, B = 17.24m (56’56”)

Cz = Combined Height and Exposure Coefficient

Cp= Pressure Coefficient

Pressure Pz-x = Cg.Cp-x.qz

= 1.324×1.45×2.082Cz
= 3.997Cz

Pressure Py-x = Cg.Cp-y.qz

= 1.324×1.22×2.082Cz
= 3.363Cz
