Wind Load Calculation for the Elevated Horizontal Pipe of (CPS-00041)
Wind Load as per ASCE 7-22
Basic Wind Speed V = 41.00 m/s (Clause 1.8 of Design basis)
Occupancy Category = III (Table 1.5-1 of ASCE 7-22)
Exposure Category = C (Table 26.10-1 of ASCE 7-22)
Topography Factor Kzt = 1.00 (Clause 26.8.2 of ASCE 7-22)
Gust Effect Factor G = 0.85 (Clause 26.11.1 of ASCE 7-22)
Ground Elevation Factor Ke = 1.00 (For All Cases) (Table 26.9-1 of ASCE 7-22)
Wind Directionality Factor Kd = 0.85 (For MWFRS) (Table 26.6-1 of ASCE 7-22)
Velocity Pressure, qz, evaluated at height z shall be calculated by the following equation:
2
qz = 0.613 x Kz x Kztx Ke x V ( N/m2) (Eq.26.10-1 of ASCE 7-22)
where Kz = Velocity Pressure Exposure Coefficients which varies as per Height and exposure Category
Height above ground level Exposure Category C Velocity Pressure (Table 26.10-1 of ASCE 7-22)
Z Kz qz (kN/m2)
0-4.6 0.85 0.876
4.6 - 6.1 0.90 0.927
6.1 - 7.6 0.94 0.969
7.6 - 9.1 0.98 1.010
9.1 - 12.2 1.04 1.072
12.2 - 15.2 1.09 1.123
15.2 - 18 1.13 1.164
18 - 21.3 1.17 1.206
21.3 - 24.4 1.21 1.247
24.4 - 27.4 1.24 1.278
27.4 - 30.5 1.26 1.298
30.5 - 36.6 1.31 1.350
36.6 - 42.7 1.34 1.381
42.7 - 48.8 1.39 1.432
48.8 - 54.9 1.41 1.453
54.9 - 61 1.44 1.484
The Design Wind Load for the elevated Pipe is determined by the following formula :
(Clause 29.4 of ASCE 7-22)
F = qz x Kd x G x Cf x Af (kN) (Eq 29.4-1 of ASCE 7-22)
Where
qz = Velocity pressure evaluated at height z of the centroid of Area Af
Kd = Wind Directionality Factor
G = Gust Effect Factor
Cf = Force Coefficient = 0.70 (Un-insulated pipe) (Clause 4.4.8.of Design basis)
2
Af = Projected area Normal to the Wind, m = Dia (pipe) x L m² (L = Tributary Length)
Dia of pipe = 20 INCH (NOT LESS THAN 0.25m) (Clause 4.4.8.of Design basis)
Supported Pipes SINGLE
Outside Diameter of The Pipe = 0.508 m
For L = 11.5 m
Height= 0.745 m
qz= 0.88 (kN/m2)
Design Wind lateral Force = 2.59 kN
