** WIND LOAD EVALUATION AS PER IS802 ON LONGITUDINAL FACE OF TOWER

* WIND PRESSURE EVALUATION


- Basic wind Speed (Zone : 2) Vb = 39.00 m/s Fig. 1 [IS802( Part 1/Sec 1 ) :1995]
- Risk Coefficient (Reliability Level 2 and Zone 2) K1 = 1.10 Tb 2 [IS802( Part 1/Sec 1 ) :1995]
- Terrain Roughness coefficient Category-2 K2 = 1.00 Tb 3 [IS802( Part 1/Sec 1 ) :1995]
- Meterological reference wind speed Vr = Vb/1.375 = 28.36 m/s Cl 8.2 [IS802( Part 1/Sec 1 ) :1995]
- Design wind speed Vd = Vr.K1.K2 = 31.20 m/s Cl 8.3 [IS802( Part 1/Sec 1 ) :1995]

- Design wind pressure Pd = 0.6Vd2/9.81 = 1.50 kn/m Cl 8.4 [IS802( Part 1/Sec 1 ) :1995]

- Gross Areas are calculated as height of segment x Average width of panel and same has been used to evaluate wind load.
- Solidity ratio is calculated for actual sizes of members and force coefficient is for actual solidity ratio
and same is used for wind load calculation.
- Force Coefficients as per IS802 for 4 legged tower structure is considered
- Wind Load = Net Exposed Area x Drag Coefficient x Design wind Pressure x Gust Factor
- Wind Load at given level = 50 % load from panel above + 50 % load from panel below.
- In TABLE - 1 Net area and gross area is calculated
- In TABLE - 2 the design wind pressure has been calculated as per IS802 and wind load on panels are calculated
using the above mentioned formula.
- In TABLE - 3 the wind perpendicular to the Longitudinal face has been calculated at various levels as per above mentioned note
and are distributed equally on each node.
