DYNAMIC WIND LOAD ANALYSIS PER RUSSIAN DESIGN CODE

VERIFICATION REPORT
1 General
The purpose of the program is generation of wind pressure forces on buildings and structures
together with vibration analysis under the turbulent wind pressure fluctuations.
According to Russian code for loads and actions SNiP 2.01.07-85* [1] (hereafter referred as the
Code) the wind load comprises mean wind pressure wm and quasi-static wind fluctuation component
w p  wm  with fluctuation coefficient  , dependent on terrain roughness and the height above
ground. If the structure is susceptible to wind-induced resonance, then the additional dynamic
amplification factor (DAF)  should be introduced. The product  will take into account the wind
fluctuation together with resonance vibrations of the structure.

1.1 Theoretical background

The wind-induced vibration of the structures is treated as a stationary random process described
in terms of the spectral theory of random vibrations [2], [3]. The use of spectral theory in design
practice of the USSR was long ago communicated in [4]. Comprehensive theoretical and practical
description of wind load analysis according to Russian design code is found in the Design Guide [5].
The buffeting vibration, caused by the wind pressure fluctuation, is predicted from the dynamic
equilibrium equations. The random wind loading is represented by A. G. Davenport’s power spectral
density [6]. Normalized power spectral function reads as
4 u2 Lf
Su  f   ,u (1)


V10
where f is current frequency, Hz,
L  1200 m — longitudinal turbulence length scale,
V10 — basic wind velocity 10 m above ground.

The solution is obtained by modal expansion of structural equations of the oscillatory system

Corresponding eigenproblem
 M {}   2  K {}  0 (3)

yields generalized modal displacements z i with y j  i z i  ji and a set of uncoupled equations

where,
m j — mass, attached to the j-th degree of freedom (DOF),
 i — i-th natural frequency,
 ji — j-th component of the i-th mode shape vector,
F j  F j  t  — quasi-static wind pressure force, applied to the j-th DOF.
Dynamic response to the random wind loading can be obtained by means of generally accepted
spectral analysis technique [3]. The response of a structure to the random excitation is assumed
harmonic, in the form of modal expansion.
The format of solution sought for follows from the equations (2) to (4). In terms of amplitude
values of fluctuating variables, with no allowance for resonance effects, it can be formulated as

The resonance effect is determined by the RMS response to the wind fluctuation described by

where  i   — non-dimensional natural vibration period,

    ,  — logarithmic vibration decrement.

To obtain the meaningful engineering solution, the RMS quantity should be multiplied by the
probability based peak wind pressure factor. It is taken  g  3.0 .
The correlation coefficient  of the wind pressures on different points of wind-exposed surface
is introduced in a similar way.
More sophisticated dynamic wind loading method [7] is proposed, but little is known about its
practical use in design practice.

1.2 Main assumptions and limitations

Some wind engineering problems cannot be solved by standard codified procedures. More
sophisticated design methods including non-linear and aeroelastic stability analysis, wind tunnel tests
and field measurements should be applied in such cases. Limiting assumptions and limitation are
present in the program for this reason.
 Dynamic action of the wind load is represented by the peak quasi-static values of
internal forces in the structure.
 The program automatically includes necessary number of natural vibration modes and
performes the SRSS summation of modal contributions if the number of modes is greater than
one.
 For all vibration modes the same DAF is applied, as calculated for the first vibration
mode.
 Wind pressure correlation coefficient for the first vibration mode is applied. For higher
modes, the coefficient is taken unity.
 Dynamic wind action can be determined only on vertical or near-vertical surfaces and
cannot be applied to roofs.
 Design code does not contain recommendations about the vibrations of vertical surfaces
of flexible shells, such as cylindrical shells and cooling towers.
 The program is not applicable to aerodynamic and aeroelastic stability problems.

1.3 Computation algorithm

The basic wind pressure w0 is determined in the Code on the basis of measured wind velocity
at the height of 10 meters with the 10-minutes duration averaging and 50-year return period and
relates to the wind velocity by the eq (11.3) of the Code.
Wind pressure and wind force coefficients. The mean wind pressure wm is introduced with the
multiplier k  y e  determined by the Table 11.2, and pulsating pressure with the multiplier   y e  ,
determined by the Table 11.3 of the Code. Here y e is effective height, defined in the Code, 11.1.5.

/conversion/tmp/activity_task_scratch/539715958.doc
Aerodynamic wind pressure coefficients for wind-exposed surfaces, or wind force coefficients for
entire structures, C x , depend on the shape of a structure, and are defined in the Annex D of the Code
for typical structural shapes.
If the structure is sufficiently rigid, then the quasi-static application of wind fluctuation pressure
is acceptable. Otherwise, the resonant action of fluctuating wind should be taken into account. The
dynamic rigidity of the structure is defined by its natural frequencies. The greater is the natural
frequency, the less susceptible to wind-induced vibrations is the structure. Limit natural frequencies
are presented in the Table 11.5 of the Code. They depend on the basic wind pressure in a region and
the logarithmic decrement of a structure. Dynamic calculation of the wind load must include all
vibration modes with frequencies less than limit value.
Static wind forces. The static wind force acting on the k-th DOF on the wind-exposed surface of the
structure is determined as
FkMEAN  Ak wm C x . (7)
Here Ak — wind pressure area, related to the k-th DOF of the wind-exposed surface,
C x — aerodynamic coefficient calculated in accordance with the Annex D of the Code, applicable
to both mean and pulsating pressure components.
X- and Z-components of modal dynamic wind forces at a joint are considered as different DOFs of
the oscillatory system.
The obtained mean value is summed with the dynamic components of the wind loads. If the
structure is not susceptible to wind–induced vibration, then the w p is considered as dynamic load
component, and calculation is completed with this.
Dynamic forces. If one or more of natural frequencies are below the code-defined limiting value
f lim then the dynamic calculation shall be performed. Dynamic amplification factor  is
determined from the graph in Fig. 11.1 as a function of the non-dimensional natural vibration period,
obtained by the eq (11.8) of the Code:
w0 k  y e   f
 (8)
940 f 1

where
w0 — basic wind pressure, Pa,
k  y e  — pressure coefficient at a reference height,
y e  0.7 H , H — reference height of the structure,
 f  1.4 — partial load reliability coefficient,
f 1 — fundamental natural frequency.
For all vibration modes, the same DAF is applied, as calculated for the lowest natural frequency.
The modal components of dynamic wind forces of the k-th DOF, corresponding to the i-th
natural mode, are

 2. Full-scale building
TYPE OF THE PROBLEM: wind load generation on the full-scale building
REFERENCE: control hand calculations.
2.1 Main parameters of the building structure
The structure is situated in the III wind loading region, characteristic wind pressure is w0  0.38
kPa. Terrain category is A. Wind is directed along the x-axis, the width of the wind-exposed side of
the building is B  18.0 m. Building plan dimensions are B  D  18.0  7.2 m, height is H = 63.0
m.
Natural frequencies of the structure (Hz): f 1  0.750, f 2  0.904, f 3  1.131, f 4  2.518 .
Logarithmic decrement is   0.30 . The structural model of the building comprises 96 joints with
the attached masses which represent design loading. Total mass of the structure is 2177370 kg.
According to the Table 11.5 of the Code, the limit natural frequency for buildings in the III wind
region is f lim  1.20 Hz. Three lowest vibration modes shall be taken into account to assess the
resonance effect of wind-induced vibrations.

Fig. 2.1
To assess the possible interaction between the translational and rotational vibrations, the distribution
of masses is assumed asymmetrical in the YZ plane. Mode shapes 1 and 3 are interconnected due to
mass asymmetry. The mode 2 is pure translational mode in the YX plane (Fig. 2.3).

2.2 Dynamic wind load analysis

Fig. 2.5. Wind contribution areas

The main assumption of the analysis is that the building behaves as a rigid in the horizontal
plane. The wind drag force, produced by the wind velocity pressure, is distributed over the joints of
the windward façade of the building. The wind contribution areas in Fig. 5 are related to the
windward joints of the building. But the aerodynamic wind force coefficients relate the wind velocity
pressure to the wind drag force as a whole, including both windward and leeward façades.
Intermediate and final results of dynamic wind load generation are presented in the tables 1 and
MEAN
2 below. The final results are the static wind forces F j in the Table 1, and the dynamic modal
DYNAMIC
wind force components F ji in the Table 2 (i = 1, … 3, j = 1, … 96). Since the number of
modes is more than one, the modal effects (section forces, stresses or displacements) must be
summed by use of the SRSS procedure.
It should be remembered that index values j here are the joint numbers, not the DOFs.

 3 Full-scale lattice steel tower
TYPE OF THE PROBLEM: wind load generation on the full-scale lattice steel structure.
REFERENCE: control hand calculations for selected DOFs of the system.
3.1 Main parameters of the structure
Height of the tower H = 45.0 m. Wind is directed along the x-axis. Terrain category is A. The
structure is situated in the III wind loading region, characteristic wind pressure is w0  0.38 kPa.
The structural model of the building comprises 64 joints with the attached masses. It is assumed that
that asymmetric behavior of the structure can be neglected and only pure translational vibration in the
XY plane is considered. Wind-exposed envelope region of the tower, divided into joint-related
contributory areas with x-directed notional mass forces, is shown in the figure below.

Fig. 3.1. Wind contributory areas and notional mass forces

Natural frequencies of the structure (Hz) are f 1  2.299, f 2  8.126 . Logarithmic decrement
for steel structure is   0.15 . According to the Table 11.5 of the SP 2011, the limit natural
frequency for steel structures, in the III wind region is f lim  3.80 Hz. Only the first vibration mode
should be taken into account to assess the resonance effect of wind-induced vibrations.

/conversion/tmp/activity_task_scratch/539715958.doc
 Fig. 3.2. Fundamental mode shape. Natural frequency 2.299 Hz
Wind drag forces, applied to the wind exposed joints, are determined by the exposure factors,
which reduce the gross area of the wind exposed envelope of the lattice structure (Fig. 3.1) to the
effective wind contributory area, including main structural members, gusset plates, service elements
(such as ladders, platforms, railings) and special equipment. Exposure factors are supplied by the user
and should be implicitly multiplied by aerodynamic wind force coefficients for spatial lattice
structures defined in the Annex D.1.14 of the design code.
3.2 Dynamic wind load analysis
Intermediate and final results of dynamic wind load generation are presented in the Table 3.1
MEAN DYN
below. The final results are static wind forces F j and dynamic modal wind force F j1 , kN.
The joint numbers coincide with the DOF numbers, j = 1, … 64.

Static forces. The mean wind pressure wm is determined by the eq (11.5) of the Code. The static
wind force acting on the node k on the wind-exposed surface of the structural model is
FkMEAN  Ak wm C x .

/conversion/tmp/activity_task_scratch/539715958.doc
Here Ak — wind pressure contribution area, related to the k-th node,
C x  k  c x — the aerodynamic coefficient calculated in accordance with the Annex D of the Code,
applicable to both mean and pulsating pressure components.
Dynamic forces. Dynamic wind forces are the pulsating components of the wind load, multiplied by
the dynamic amplification factor (DAF). Dynamic wind pressure is determined by the eq (11.7) of
the Code:

Here ξ is DAF, obtained from the digitized function shown in the plot of the Fig.11.1 of the Code.
The function depends on the logarithmic decrement δ of a structure. For buildings and concrete
structures δ = 0.30. The argument of the function is:
w0 k  y e   f

where w0  300 . 0 Pa is characteristic wind pressure,
y e  0.7 H  290.5 m,
 f  1.4 — load reliability coefficient,
f 1  0.23892 Hz — the lowest natural frequency.
Resulting DAF is   1.92695 .
Dynamic resonant response of the structure is obtained as the expansion into the natural
vibration modes, defined by the eigenvectors  ji , where i are the natural vibration modes and j are
the global numbers of the degrees of freedom. In this example, the vibrations only in x-direction are
considered and the node numbers coincide with the global degrees of freedom.

i-th natural mode, read as [2]:

TYPE OF THE PROBLEM: wind load generation on the plane structure
REFERENCE: control hand calculations for selected DOFs of the system.
5.1 Main parameters of the structure
Layout of the structure conforms with the picture D.2 in the Annex D.1.1 of design code, Fig.
5.1 below. Load generation method can be applied if the board is elevated above the earth surface not
less than z g  0.25d . It is assumed by default that the wind is directed along the x-axis and the plane
structure is in the YZ plane. The compliance of the STAAD.Pro model with geometric requirements
of the code is checked programmatically.
The resultant of the wind pressure shall be placed at a distance 0.25b from the centre of the
board. The reference height for wind pressure is z e  z g  0.5d .

Fig. 5.1 Standard layout of the sign board.

Main dimensions of the structure are b  3.2 m, d  5.0 m, z g  1.5  0.25d m.

The structural model of the sign board and the wind pressure contribution areas, related to the
joints, 3 to 10, is shown in the picture below. The masses of the structure are distributed over the
joints 3, 6, 7 and 10. Natural frequencies of the structure (Hz) are
f 1  1.25714, f 2  3.42621, f 3  12.05394 . Logarithmic decrement for the steel structure is
  0.15 .
The building is situated in the III wind loading region, characteristic wind pressure is
w0  0.38 kPa. Category B of terrain conditions is assumed. According to the Table 11.5 of design
code, the limit natural frequency for structures with   0.15 in the III wind region is f lim  3.80
Hz. Hence, two lowest vibration modes shall be taken into account to assess the resonance effect of
wind-induced vibrations.
These two mode shapes describe the interaction between the translational and rotational vibrations of
the structure.
