Wind Load Calculation

The document provides information on calculating wind loads for a pre-engineered building with dimensions of 20m width, 70m length, and 8m height located in Hyderabad, India. It outlines calculating the basic wind speed of 44m/sec, design wind speed of 40.04m/sec, and wind pressure of 0.962 kN/m^2. It also includes notes on factors to calculate design wind pressure and details on the building dimensions, openings, surface area, and internal pressure coefficient.

Width =20M, Length = 70M ( 10@ 7M bay spacing) , Height = 8M
Basic wind speed = 44M/Sec (Hyderabad)
Design wind speed (Vz) = Vb K1 K2 K3 K4
K1 = 1 (probability factor )

K2 = 0.91 (terrain category )

K3 = 1 (topography)

K4 = 1 (non cyclone zone i.e. Hyderabad)

Design wind speed(Vz) = Vb K1 K2 K3 K4


= 44 x 1 x 0.91 x 1 x1
= 40.04 M/sec

Pz = wind pressure at height z


Pz = 0.60 Vz2 = 0.60 x 40.042 = 0.962 kN/M2
Pd = The design wind pressure can obtained as
Pd = Kd Ka Kc Pz

Note : The value of Pd shall not be taken as less than 0.70Pz


Width = 20M , Length = 70M , Height = 8M
Door : 4 x 3 - 2Nos.
Window: 1.20 x 1.5 - 6Nos.
Building surface area : 2H ( L + W) = 2 x 8 ( 70 + 20 ) = 1440M2
Triangle portion of end wall : ½ x h x w/2 x 4 = ½ x 1 x 10 x 4 = 20M2
Total surface area = 1440 + 20 = 1460M2
Opening area = 4 x 3 x 2 + 1.20 x 1.50 x 6 = 34.80M2
Percentage of opening = (34.8 / 1460) x 100 = 2.38 %
Hence internal pressure coefficient = +/- 0.20
