ASCE Wind & Siesmic PDF

The document provides calculations for wind load on a platform according to ASCE standards. It lists the dimensions of the platform and calculates the maximum base shear due to wind as 2.8 kN. It then shows the steps to calculate the velocity pressure and determines the wind force in the X direction is 0.51 kN/m.

Wind load Calculation as per ASCE

Maximum Length of Plotform 1.1 Mts


Maximum Height of Plotform 3.71 Mts
Empty Center of gravity Height 2.25 Mts
Operating Center of gravity Height 2.25 Mts

Force F = p x Af = qz x G x Cf x Af
maximum base shear due to wind = 2.8 kN
p: design pressure
qz: velocity pressure at height z above ground
G= 0.85 ( Guest Factor for Exposure C)
Cf = 0.7 (Force Coefficient)
Af= 4.081 Area projected area normal to wind

qz = 0.613 x Kz x Kzt x Kd x V2 x I qz = 1143.64 N/m^2

Kz= 1 (Velocity Pressure Exposure Coefficient for Exposure C given in Table 6-2))
Kzt = 1 (Topographical Factor)
Kd = 1 (Directional Factor)
V= 40.3 m/s (Wind Speed)
I= 1.15 (Importance Factor for Ocupance Category III)

Wind force at X direction

Member Load = Load / memmber running meter = 0.51 kN/M
