This document provides the equations and parameters for calculating wind load on a spherical tank structure according to ASCE 7-10 standards. The wind force on each step height (Fwz) is calculated as the wind pressure (qz) multiplied by the gust effect factor (G), force coefficient (Cf), and projected area (Afz). The wind pressure is calculated using the basic wind speed (V), velocity pressure exposure coefficient (Kz), topographic factor (Kzt), and wind directionality factor (Kd). Parameter values provided include a basic wind speed of 40 m/s and gust effect and force coefficients of 0.85 and 0.6 respectively for exposure C and a spherical tank.
