THE AXIAL STRESSES (TENSILE AND COMPRESSIVE) DUE TO WIND LOADS ON SELF SUPPORTING TALL VERTICLE VESSEL ‘The stress due to wind load may be calculated by treating the vessel as uniformly loade ‘cantilever beam. The wind loading is a function of wind velocity, air density and shape « tower, ‘The wind load on the vessel is given by PLa’xC,xpxVixA 13) Where, Co dg coefficient p= deny ofa Ve wind velocity A= projected area normal tothe dizection of wind If wind velocity is known approximate wind pressure can be computed from the following simplified retationship.

This can be observed from the figure shown belo Figure 63). The velocity of wind near the ground is Tess than that away from i ‘Therefore, to take into account this factor a variable wind force may be taken. It recommended to calculate the wind load in two pars, because the wind pressure does mi remain constant through the height of the tall vessel. Say for example in case of vess taller than 20 m height, itis suggested that the wind load may be determined separatel for the bottom part of the vessel having height equal to 20 m, and then forrest of tk ‘upper pat.
