Wind Load Calculations
The wind load is calculated as per IS 875(Part-III)
VZ = Vb*k1* k2* k3
where ,
Vz = design wind speed at any height z in m/s;
k1 = probability factor (risk coefficient)
k2 = terrain, height and structure size factor
k3 = topography factor.
Data available:
Vb= design wind speed at any height z in m/s
=33 km/h
k1 = probability factor (risk coefficient) =1.0
k2 = terrain, height and structure size factor
=category 3; building class B
k3 = topography factor=1.0
Design Wind Pressure:
PZ =0.6VZ2
where,
PZ = design wind pressure in N/m2 at height z
VZ = design wind velocity in m/s at height z
Height K2 Vz Pz
