Dead Load of roof =

Dead load/m run on rafter =

Live Load =

Live load/m run on rafter =

Calculation of Wind Load:-

Assuming the building is situated in Vijayawada, the basic wind speed is =

Design wind speed, Vz = k1 k2 k3 Vb =

Design wind pressure, Pd = 0.6*Vz2 =

Wind Load on walls:-

The wind load, WL acting normal to the individual surfaces is given by

WL = (Cpe – Cpi ) A*Pd

Exposed area of the wall per frame normal to the wind direction, A =
