2 Wind Load
*Basic Wind Speed 26m/s
* Building Mean Height 50m
Wind Pressure:‐
Vs =Vb ⋅ Sa ⋅ Sd ⋅ Ss ⋅ Sp
- ∆S≔35 Site altitude above sea level in meters – 50m
- Sa ≔1 + 0.001 ⋅ ∆S = 1.05 Altitude factor
- Sd ≔1 Direction factor ‐ Section 2.2.2.3 for unknown wind direction
- Ss ≔1 Seasonal factor ‐ Section 2.2.2.4
- Sp ≔1 Probability factor ‐ Section 2.2.2.5
Vs =Vb ⋅ Sa ⋅ Sd ⋅ Ss ⋅ Sp . Vs = 27.30 m/s
- Effective wind speed calculation in accordance with BS 6399‐2 Section 2.2.3
Sb ≔1.940
Ve Vs ⋅ Sb 27.3 X 2.04 55.7 m/s effective wind speed
qs = 0.613 (Ve)²
qs = 1.90 kN/m²
- External pressure coeff. ‐BS 6399‐2 ‐Table 10
Pe = -1.2X 1.9 = -2.280kN/m2
1.6.3 Load combination (According to BS 8118):
1.6.3.1 Ultimate load combination
U = 1.4DL + 1.6
WL U = 0.9DL + 1.4WL
1.6.3.2 Serviceability load combination
1‐ S = DL + LL
2‐ S = 0.75DL + 1.0WL
