Wind Pressure Computation (Motighat Surge Tank)

Basic Wind Speed, Vb = 47.00 m/s (Fig. 1)


Design Wind Speed, Vz=Vb*k1*k2*k3 = 46.77 m/s (Cl. 5.3)
k1 = 1.07 (Table-1, for Important Building)
Top Elevation 1293.55 m
Bottom Elevation 1268.35 m
Height of Building 25.20 m
k2 (Category 4, Class B and Height 25.2m) = 0.93
k3 = 1.00
pZ=0.6Vz2 = 1.31 kN/m2
Wind pressure taken as 1.40 kN/m2
