b = damping coefficient of the structure

= 0.02 Bolted Steel Structure/ RCC Structure

gR = peak factor for resonant response

= √[2*ln(3600*f a )]

ACROSS WIND IN Y-DIRECTION

The across wind design peak base bending moment M c for enclosed buildings and towers shall be
determined as follows:

2
Mc = 0.5*g h *p h *b*h *(1.06-0.06k)*√( p*C fs / b )
gh = peak factor for resonant responsein cross wind direction
= √[2*ln(3600*f c )]
fc = first mode natural frequency of the structure in
across wind direction
Time period = 1.127 sec
= 0.888 Hz
= 4.017

ph = design hourly mean wind pressure at height h, in Pa

b = the breadth of the structure normal to the wind, in m
h = the height of the structure, in m
a mode shape power exponent for representation of the
k =
fundamental mode shape as represented by:
y(z) = (z/h)k
a) uniform cantilever, k = 1.5
b) slender framed structure (moment resisting) k=0.5
c) building with a central core and moment resisting façade, k=1.0
lattice tower decreasing in stiffness with height, or a tower with large
d)
mass at the top, k = 2.3

= 2.3

first mode natural frequency of the structure in along wind

fa =

The across wind load distribution on the structure can be obtained from M c using linear
distribution of loads as given below:
F z,c = (3Mc/h2)*(z/h)
= across wind load per unit height at height at height z.
