WIND LOADS CALCULATION

Wind load for aluminum Curtainwall, basic wind speed 135 km/hr.
Calculated as per ASCE-7, 2010.
: Buildings, Towers and Vertical Structures 0

a= 1.18 m Panel Width

b= 1.82 m Panel Height
H or z= 28 m Height Above Ground Level
b= 7 Terrain Exposure Constants
zg= 365
Exposure= B Building Category
Importance Factor Special Occupancy Category III
Iw= 1.15
v= 135 Km/hr Design Wind Speed
Kz= 2.01 (z/zg)^(2/b)
Kz= 0.965 Velocity Pressure Exposure Coefficient
Kzt= (1+K1*K2*K3)2
K1= 0
K2= 0
K3= 0
Kzt= 1 The building is not subject to the topographic effects
qz= 47.3x(10-6)*Kz*Kzt*(V^2)*Iw
qz= 0.957 Kpa
A= 2.148 m2 Effective Wind Area

Internal Pressure Coefficient for Buildings: Enclosed Buildings

Gcpi= 0.18

Design Wind Pressures

Typical Wall (Zone 4 away from corners)
P4= qz( GCp4-Gcpi)

P4= 0.689 Kpa (positive) Design Wind pressure for components and
-0.689 Kpa ( negative) Claddings on regions away from corners

Corner Wall (Zone 5 Adjacent from corners)

P5= qz( GCp5-Gcpi)

P5= 0.689 Kpa (positive) Design Wind pressure for components and
-1.54999 Kpa ( negative) Claddings on regions away from corners

Design wind pressure = 1549.99 Pa Design Wind Load
