1 Scope:

To assess the expected windload acting on the SKYLIGHT

2 Refernces

a Relevant Codes
i). BS 6399: Part- 2, 1997 for windload calculation

4 Load Calculations

i) Wind load calculation ( reference 6399; Part-2, unless stated otherwise)

Stage 1 Dynamic Augmentation factor (Cr) (1.6.1)

Building Ht H ( Hghest point) = 8 m

Maximum heght of structure under consideeration = 8 m
Building type factor = 0.5 ( table-1)
Cr = 0.5

Stage 2 Check for limit applicability (1.6.2) = Cr<0.25, H < 300 Hence Comes within the limits of applicability

Stage 3 Basic wind speed Vb = 25 m/sec

Stage 4 Site win speed Vs (2.2.2)

Here for calculation purpose the value for Altitude factor Sa, Directional factor Sd,
seasonal factor Ss & Probability factor Sp are taken as = 1

Site wind speed Vs = Vb x Sa x Sd x Ss x Sp

= 25 m/sec

Stage 6 Method used (Standard / Directional) : Standard method

Stage 7 Standard Effective Wind speed ( 2.2.3)

Ve = Vs x Sb , Sb = 1.684 Terrain factor Corresponding to He form table-4

Stage 8 Dynamic Pressure qs (2.1.2)

qs = 0.613 Ve2 Kpa

2
= 1086.48733 N/M
2
= 1.09 KN/M

Stage 9 Standard Pressure co-efficient (2.3 ~ 2.7)

External & Internal ressure co-efficient

External pressure co-efficient Cpe = -0.60 ( Maximum For dupitch roof, α<15°)
Internal pressure co-efficient Cpi = 0.2

Net Pressure Co-efficient Cpe- Cpi = -0.80

Wind load

Net Wind pressure ( negetive) p = qs Cp Ca

qs (+) = -0.87 KN/M2 (Ca = 1) Size effect factor
(2.1.3.4)
factor
( Acting Upward)

Also a wind laod of postive pressure co-efficient of +0.4 is considered ( as per consultants instruction)
then net pressure co-efficient = +0.4+0.2= 0.60

2
Net positive wind pressure 0.65 KN/M
