CALCULATING DESIGN WIND SPEED

DESIGN WIND SPEED

Design wind speed – Vz =Vb.K1.K2.K3
Vz =Design wind speed at any height z in m/s;

• Vb = Basic wind speed at any height z in m/s;

• K1= Probability Factor

• K2= Terrain, Height and Structure sizefactor (Varies for Height)

• K3= Topography Factor

CALCULATING DESIGN WIND LOAD
1.CALCULATING DESIGN WIND LOAD

Wind Load Calculation

F= Ae x Pd x Cf

• F=wind load
• Ae= effective frontal area obstructing wind, which is identified for
each structure
• Cf =force coefficient
• pd =design wind pressure
 FINDING Cf VALUE USING GRAPH
FIND H/B RATIO AND CHECK IF IT IS GREATER OR LESSER THEN 1
( HELPS TO DECIDE WHICH GRAPH TO FIND Cf)

HEIGHT (H)= 30 As per IS 875 part 3

Clause 5.2

IF H/b VALUE IS GREATER

LENGTH (B) = 24
THAN OR EQUAL TO 1 THEN
USE GRAPH 6A
BREADTH (A) = 15

A / B = 0.62 IF H/b VALUE IS LESSER

THAN 1 THEN USE GRAPH
H/B = 30 / 24 = 1.25 6B

1.25 > 1
USE GRAPH 6A
 A / B = 0.62

H/B = 1.25

Cf=1.2
2.CALCULATING VALUE OF FRONTAL AREA (Ae)

Ae= effective frontal area obstructing wind, which is identified for

each structure

Here, we are calculating load per unit area

Therefore, frontal area

=1 x 6 (shortest span between columns )

Ae = 1 x 6 =6 m2
