- 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.
EVALUATION OF WIND LOAD - TABLE 1
Segment Height of Segment Top Design Net Gust Cdt Wind Load
No. from Segments Levels Pressure Area response A x Pd x Cdt x Gt
Top (meters) (meters) (kN/meter2) (metres2) factor "Gt" (kN)
Segment Height of Segment Top Wind Load Distribution Height of Moment Load Load
No. from Segments Levels of Wind Load Application Force x Ht. Left Right
Top (meters) (meters) (kg) (kg) (meters) (kg - meters) (kg) (kg)
