Windload Calculation to ASCE -7-10

1 Step.1
Determine Risk category ( Tale 1.5.1-Chapter 1 -Page 2)
Catgory II

2 Step.2
Determination of Basic Wind speed
Taken as 45 m/sec

3 Step.3
Determination of Windload parameters

Kd = 0.85 (26.2 page 250)

Exposure category B ( page 251)
Kzt 1 (26.8.2)
Enclosure class Enclosed ( Ofice Builidng)
Gcpi =+/-0.18 ( Table 26.11, page 258)

4 Step.4
Determination of Velocity pressure exposure

Kh = 0.92 Table 30.3-1 pageHeight

317 considered= 23.85
kz = 0.7 height =5.65M
5 Step.5
Determination of Velocity pressure
2 =
qh = 0.613*Kh*Kzt*Kd* V 970.71615 0.97 Kpa
2 =
qz= 0.613*Kz*Kzt*Kd* V 738.588375 0.74 Kpa
6 Step.6
Determine external pressure co-efficient Gcp
Effective area =47.04
Zone 4 & 5 -Positive(+) = 0.6
Zone 4 - Negetive(-) = -0.7
Zone 5-Negetive(+) = -1

7 Step.7
Calulation of wind pressure
p1 = qz{ ( GCP-GCPi(+)} GCPi(+) = 0.18
p2 = qz{ ( GCP-GCPi(-)} GCPi(-) = -0.18
With Kh with Kz
P4&5 POSTVE1 = 0.31 Kpa
P4&5 POSTVE2 = 0.58 Kpa
P4 NEGTVE1 = -0.65 Kpa
P4-neg2 = -0.38 Kpa
P5-neg1 = -0.87 Kpa
P5-neg2 = -0.61 Kpa

Maximum load
