Wind Analysis

Buildings and their components are to be designed to withstand the code-specified

wind loads. Calculating wind loads is important in design of the wind force-resisting

system, including structural members, components, and cladding, against shear, sliding,

overturning, and uplift actions.

The National Structural Code of the Philippines requires that buildings are

designed to withstand the winds that they are likely to be subjected to. During Wind

Analysis, we are able to determine the wind forces that the structure must be able to

endure.

The design falls under occupancy category III since school building is describe as

Special Occupancy Structure and therefore its importance factor is 1.15. The proposed

location of the structure is in Batangas City so it falls to exposure C. The directionality

factor is 0.85 since the structural type is Building Main Wind Forces Resisting System.
