DESIGN OF TRANSOM

Wind Load :-

Basic Wind Speed (Vb) = 69.5 m/s

Risk Cofi. (K1) = 1
Terrain Roughness Factor ( K2 ) = 1
Topogarphy Factor (K3 ) = 1
Importance Factor for Cyclonic Region (K4) = 1.3

Design Wind Speed (Vz)= Vb x K1 x K2 x K3 x K4 = 90.35 m/s

Design Wind Pressure (Pz)= 0.6 x Vz2 = 4.897874 KN/m2

External Pressure Coefficient (Cpe) = 0.8

Internal Pressure Coefficient (Cpi) = -0.2

Wind Load Intensity = (Cpe-Cpi) x Pz = 4.897874 KN/m2
