LOAD CALCULATION
Wind Load Calculation
1 Basic Wind speed, Vb (As per IS875 Part-3) = 50 m/s
2 K1 = 0.9
3 K2 = 1
4 K3 = 1
5 K4 = 1.15
6 Design Wind speed, Vz = k1 * k2 * k3 * k4* Vb = 51.75 m/s
7 Design Wind Pressure, Pz = 0.6 * Vz^2 = 1.607 kN/m2
8 Lateral Load on centre of Transformer, Pz * A = 58.77 kN
 Seismic Load Caculation
1 Zone Factor, Z (Zone-V) = 0.36
2 Importance Factor, I = 1.5
Response Reduction, R = 3
Time period, T = 0.24 seconds
For Soft soil sites, Figure 2, IS1893:2002
Average Response Acceleration Coefficient, Sa/g = 2.50
Design Horizontal acceleration spectrum, Ah =
(Z*I*Sa/g)/(2*R) = 0.225
Design Base shear, H = Ah * W = 119.19 kN
According to Cl. 15.1.6 of IS 1904, " Where seismic load is less than 25% of that due to dead
and live loads, it may neglected in design.
