Building Dimensions
L = 33 m
W = 16.2 m

H, height of building = 9 m

Take basic wind speed = 35 m/s = 126 km/h

(The basic wind speed Vb should be assumed according to maximum wind speed
at Kuantan - 23m/s)

Design wind speed

CL2.2.1 Vs = Vb x Sa x Sd x Sa x Sp
page 18
BS6399-2 Vb = Basic wind speed
1997 Sa = Altitude factor
Sd = Direction factor
Ss = Seasonal factor
Sp = Probility factor

cl 2.2.2.2 Altitude factor, Sa

page 20
BS6399-2 Sa = 1 + 0.001 ∆S ∆S = in metres above mean sea level at
1997 kemaman located at 5m above
sea-level so :
= 1.014 ∆S = 14 m

Distance from sea = 3 km

CL2.2.2.3 Direction factor, Sd

page 27
BS6399-2 if the orientation of the building is unknown or ignored, the value of the direction
1997 factor should be taken as Sd = 1.00 for all location

CL2.2.2.4 Seasonal factor, Ss

page 27
BS6399-2 For permenant buildings and building exposed to the wind for a continous period
1997 of more than 6 months a value of Ss = 1.00 should be taken

CL2.2.2.5 Probability factor, Sp

page 27
BS6399-2 For all normal design applications where adjustments for risk are made through
1997 the partial factors, the standard risk, Q =0.02 is used and Sp = 1.00

So , the design wind speed

Vs = 35 x 1.014 x 1.00 x 1.00 x 1.00

= 35.49 m/s
