Air Density ρ= 1.194 kg/m NA.2.18

Wind Load Calculation

Basic wind velocity vb = 20 m/s eq (4.1)
2
Basic velocity pressure qb = 0.2388 kN/m eq(4.10)
At Height of z
Peak Pressure
0.07
Terrain factor kr = 0.19 (z0/0.05) eq(4.5)
= 0.19
cr = krIn(z/z0)
= 1.012296
co = 1
mean velocity at a heigh z vm = cr.co.vb
= 20.24593
Characteristic peak velocity pressure, qp
Turbulence factor kI = 1 NA.2.16
Standard deviation σv = kr.vb.kl eq(4.6)

Turbulence intensity at height z lv(z) = σv/(vm(z)) eq(4.7)
0.187692

Cpe
h/d = 0.228951
Floor height hf = 4.3 m

Because the loaded area is greater than 10m , therefore use cpe,10
Zone A cpe,10 = -1.2 Table 7.1
Zone B cpe,10 = -0.8
Zone D cpe,10 = 0.8
use cpe,10 = 0.8
