4.1 Consider forces on the base of the intermediate post.

Self wt of post = 4.0kg /m x 2.0m = 8.0 kg = 0.10 kN

self wt of chain link mesh = 3.1 kg/m² x 3.0 x 2.75 = 25.6 kg = 0.26 kN
Other accessories = 10 kg 0.1 kN
Total 0.46 kN

4.2 Wind load calculation : ( As per ASCE7-05, for exposure B )

basic wind speed V = 160 kmph = 44.4 m/s ( max considered)

factors Kz = 0.57 upto 4.6 m (15') ht & exposure B,case 2 .. Table 6-3
Kzt = 1
I = 0.87 importance factor , category I .. Table 6-1

dynamic pressure q = 0.613 Kz.Kzt. V2.I N/m²

= 0.613 x 0.57 x 1.0 x 44.4 x 0.87
2

= 599 N/m² = 0.6 kN/m²

shape factor Cf= 1.2

blockage due to chain link = 19 % ( 50x50 mesh, I.e.40 wires of 1 m length of 4.75 mm coated dia)
say 20% blockage = 40x1x0.00475= 0.19 m2 /m² area)

wind load = Cf.q. projected area

0.32 kN/m

\ force on fence post = Cp.q. (0.2 x. Influence length + post dia ) 2m

= 1.2 x 0.6 x( 0.2 x 2.0 + 0.048)
= 0.32 kN/m
A
GL
moment at base = 0.32 x 2.02 / 2
point A = 0.64 kNm 0.6m

shear at base = 0.32x2.0 = 0.64 kN passive e.p.

Toe kp.g.h
\ design moment = 1.2 x 0.64 = 0.768kNm 0.40m x 0.40 m base = 3.33 x 19 x 0.6
\ design shear = 1.2 x 0.64 = 0.768kN footing = 38 kN/m²

4.3 Moment capacity

Mc = 1.2 Py Z
= 1.2 x 275 x 5297 section modulus, Z= 5297 mm³
= 1748132.348 Nmm
= 1.75 kNm > design moment
hence safe

4.4 Shear capacity

Fv = 0.6 py.( 0.9.A) A= steel area in c/s

= 0.6 x 275 x ( 0.9 x 515) = 515 mm²
= 76430 N
= 76 kN > design shear hence safe
