Wind Load Calculations

From ANSI/ASCE 7-05, page 27, design wind pressure for low rise building.
qh = 0.00256 Kz Kzt Kd V2 I (lbs/ft2) ASCE-05, EQ 6-15)
The mean height of the structure from ground level is assumed to be
z = 16.5m = 54.13 ft (say 55ft)
Using Table 6-3 and for Exposure C, at an average height of 55 ft the velocity pressure exposure coefficient
Kz = 1.13
The importance factor from Table 6-1, for Category III
I = 1.15
Basic Wind Speed:
V = 150 km/hr (41.67m/s)
= 93.75 miles/hr
Topographic Factor from clause 6.5.7.2:
Kzt = (1+K1K2K3)2
Assumed the site is a flat ground Kzt = 1.0
Wind directionality Factor (from table 6-4)
Kd = 0.85
Thus the velocity pressure
qz = 0.00256 * 1.13 * 1.00 * 0.85* (93.75)2 * 1.15
= 24.85 lbf/ft2(121.33 kg/m2)
Lets adopt qz = 122 kg/m2
F = qz G Cf Af (for other structures from clause 6.5.15, page 29 of ANSI/ASCE 7-05.)
qz = 122kg/m2
G = 0.85 (from clause 6.5.8 for rigid structures)
For force coeficient, Cf :
Considering as other structures from fig 6-21,page-74, ASCE-05
For h/D=15.75/5.825=2.703(considering the shape for critical value)
Critical,Cf = 1.328
Therefore adopt critical value, Cf = 1.328
Design wind load, p = 122 * 0.85 * 1.328 = 137.79kg / m2 (say 138 kg/m2)
