ASCE 7 Wind Load Calculation Guide

This document outlines the 7 step windload calculation process according to ASCE-7-10. It involves determining the risk category, basic wind speed, windload parameters, velocity pressure exposure, velocity pressure, external pressure coefficients, and calculating wind pressure values. The maximum applicable negative windload is determined to be -0.87 kPa.

Windload Calculation to ASCE -7-10

1 Step.1
Determine Risk category ( Tale 1.5.1-Chapter 1 -Page 2)
Catgory II

2 Step.2
Determination of Basic Wind speed
Taken as 45 m/sec

3 Step.3
Determination of Windload parameters

Kd = 0.85 (26.2 page 250)


Exposure category B ( page 251)
Kzt 1 (26.8.2)
Enclosure class Enclosed ( Ofice Builidng)
Gcpi =+/-0.18 ( Table 26.11, page 258)

4 Step.4
Determination of Velocity pressure exposure

Kh = 0.92 Table 30.3-1 pagHeight considered= 23.85


kz = 0.7 height =5.65M
5 Step.5
Determination of Velocity pressure
qh = 0.613*Kh*Kzt*Kd* V2 =
970.71615 0.97 Kpa
qz= 0.613*Kz*Kzt*Kd* V2 =
738.588375 0.74 Kpa
6 Step.6
Determine external pressure co-efficient Gcp
Effective area =47.04
Zone 4 & 5 -Positive(+) = 0.6
Zone 4 - Negetive(-) = -0.7
Zone 5-Negetive(+) = -1

7 Step.7
Calulation of wind pressure
p1 = qz{ ( GCP-GCPi(+)} GCPi(+) = 0.18
p2 = qz{ ( GCP-GCPi(-)} GCPi(-) = -0.18
With Kh with Kz
P4&5 POSTVE1 = 0.31 Kpa
P4&5 POSTVE2 = 0.58 Kpa
P4 NEGTVE1 = -0.65 Kpa
P4-neg2 = -0.38 Kpa
P5-neg1 = -0.87 Kpa
P5-neg2 = -0.61 Kpa

Maximum load
