2.0 Wind Load Calculation

Site Location = Zone 3

Mean hourly wind speed = 33.50 ms-1
width of the board = 5.410 m & 4.625 m
Height of the board = 1.6575 m & 1.6575 m

BS 6399 Site wind Speed Vs = V b x Sa x Sd x Ss x Sp

part 2

Assume site located 20m height from the mean sea level

Sa = 1.02

Sd = 1.00

Ss = 1.00

Sp = 1.00

So Vs = 34.17 ms-1

Effective wind speed Ve = V s x Sb

Finish Level = - m
Ground Level = - m
Effective height = 14.853
= m

Sb = 1.81

Ve = 61.8477 ms-1

Dynamic pressure qs = 0.613Ve
= 2344.81 Pa2

Net surface pressure p = qs x Cp x Ca

For free standing sign board

Cp = 1.80

Diagonal length a = 5.66 m

So Ca = 1.00

3.0 Design of Steel elements of the Sign Board

So Surface pressure p = 4.221 kPa

Vertical element

Assume wing load is acting as a UDL

Spacing of the element = 0.785 m

UDL = 3.313 kN/m

Span = 1.075 m.

MULS = 0.62 kNm

BS 5950 - 1 Minimum section modules required

Vertical EA to secodary beam connection

Minimum tension due to wind load

= 0.785 x 4.221 x 1.6575 x 1.3 /2
= 3.57 kN

Tension Capacity if M16 Bolt = 0.8 x pt x At

= 30.144 kN

Since direction board is fixed by two main poles any rotation of

the board will not be happen. So one bolt is enough

Structural analysis of the board

Structural analysis was done using finite element model by using SAP 2000
software and following Load combinations and partial safty factors were
considered

Ultimate Limit State (ULS)

Dead Load = 1.155
Wind Load = 1.30
Service Limit State(SLS)
Dead Load = 1.00
Wind Load = 1.00

Wind load was manually calculated and assigned to the model as a

uniformly distributed load to the truss members

Dead load of the direction board and frame of the board was were
calculated manually and assigned to theelements by manually
