Calculations for wind load on individual members

1. Site Information

Project Location : Delhi

2. Basic Design Criterion :

Self-Weight of Structure : The structure self-weight is calculated automatically


by the software used for the analysis.
Earthquake Zone : Zone IV As per Bureau of Indian Standards
Basic Wind Speed : 47 Meters per Second (169.2Km/h)

3. Unit of Measurements

Units of measurements used in analysis are SI Units.

4. Wind Load (As per IS 875: part-3, 2015)

Basic wind speed = 47 meter per sec.


Risk Coefficient factor K1 = 0.90 (As per IS 875: part-3:2015, Table-1 For 47 m/s basic
wind speed & 25 years probable design life of Structure).
Terrain & Height Factor K2 = 0.91 (As per IS 875: part-3:2015, Table-2 for category 3,
Height- 10 Meters)
Topography Factor K3 =1

Design wind speed, Vz = Vb*K1 * K2 * K3


Design wind speed, Vz = 47 *0.90 * 0.91 * 1.0
= 38.5 M/s
Design Wind Pressure, Pz = 0.6*(38.5) ^2
= 0.89 KN/M^2
Design Wind Pressure (Pd) = Kd*Ka*Kc*Pz
Kd=Wind Directionality Factor = 0.9
Ka=Area Averaging Factor = 1.00 (As per IS 875: part-3:2015, Table-4 )

Kc=Combination Factor = 1.00


Design Wind Pressure (Pd) = 0.89 * 0.9 * 1 * 1
