WIND LOAD CALCULATION

Effective Building height above

1) ground level

Shaikh A.M
8.1

Hr

2) Type of Building

RCC FRAME

3) Building type factor Kb

( As Per BS 6399 - 2 1997

From table -1)

As Per BS 6399-2 1997 From Figure 3 Cr can be interpolated

4) Dynamic Augmentation factor Cr

0.015

Since Cr < 0.25 & H < 300 m , BS 6399 Apply.

5) Basic wind speed Vb

30 m/sec

6) Calculation of Site Wind Speed (Vs)

= Vb * Sa * Sd * Ss * Sp

As Per BS 6399-2 1997 From Figure 3 Cr can be interpolated

Sa

= 1+ 0.001 s

Use s conservatively = 10 m
=

1.010 (Section 2.2.2.2)

Sd

1.000 (Section 2.2.2.3)

Ss

1.000 (Section 2.2.2.4)

Sp

1.000 (Section 2.2.2.5)

Vs

Ve

= Vs * Sb

30.3

m/sec

As Per BS 6399-2 1997 Table -4 Factor for Sb shall be for the worst case

7) Calculation of Dynamic Pressure (qs)

Sb
