Wind Load Calculation

Wind Pressures (Pz)
Formula
Pz Design Wind Pressure
Pz = 0.6 Vz2

Formula
Vz Design Wind Velocity in m/s
Vz =Vb*K1*K2*K3 Vb 14
K1 1.0
K2 1.05
K3 1
Vb Basic Wind Speed
Vz (Vz =Vb*K1*K2*K3) 14.7 m/s

PZ Pz = 0.6 Vz2 0.13 kN/m

W πD x Pz 0.02 kN/m2

P W*H 0.1 kN
Wind load on the Mast
M (W * H2) / 2 0.81 kNm
