To calculate wind load for industrial steel structures and to apply it by using TSD

1. Generate manual wind loading in the design report based IS code as per the following input

• Basic wind speed = 39m/s
• Terrain category 2

AIM:- To generate manual wind loading in the design report based IS code as per the following input

• Basic wind speed = 39m/s
• Terrain category 2

INTRODUCTION:-The wind load which acts on the structure gets distribted on the walls and roof of the structure both externally and internally. Therefore, windload varies based on the height of the structure and on the terrain category.

PROCEDURE:-

• Consider IS 875-3 (2015) for manuel wind load calculation for design report.
• Given, basic wind speed as 39m/s and terrain category as 2.
• Consider following data for calculation:-
  • Life of the structure= 50 years (Table 1, Cl. 5.3.1)
  • Class of structure = A (Cl. 5.3.2.2)
  • Total length of the building, l= 18 m
  • Total width of the building, w= 18 m
  • Total height of the building, h= 16.88 m
  • Therefore, l/w= 1 and h/w= 0.93.

Step 1

External pressure cofficient, Cpe

As per IS 875-3, Table 5

• Building height ratio= 1/2
• Also, Building plan ratio= 1

Step 2

Find factors (k1, k2, k3, k4)

• From table 1 for wind speed of 39 m/s, k1= 1   
• From table 2 with terrain category 2 and class of the building A
  • Building height= 16.88m (from elevation drawing) 
  • For 15m and 20m tall building, k2 value is 1.05 and 1.07 respectively.
  • Therefore, 16.88 m tall building, k2= 1.06 (on interpolating)
• From Cl. 6.3.3, Topography Factor, k3= 1
• From Cl 6.3.4, Importance Factor, k4= 1.15 (for industrial building)

Step 3

To calculate Design Wind Speed (from Cl 6.3)

Vz= Vb x k1 x k2 x k3 xk4= 39x 1 x 1.06 x 1 x 1.15 , Vz= 47.541 m/s

Step 4

Design wind Pressure (from Cl 7.2)

Pz = 0.6 x Vz^2 =0.6 x 47.541^2 = 1356.09 N/m^2

Pz =1.36 kN/m^2

Step 5

Wind direction (upto roof level)

Step 6: Roof Calculation

External Pressure Coefficient for pitched roof, Consider Table 6, where h/w = 0.93 and roof angle is 18.

By interpolating method,

(-0.7+1.1)/(20-10)= (x+1.1)/(18-10)

x= -0.78

Also, (-0.5+0.6)/(20-10)= (x+0.6)/(18-10)

x= -0.52

Therefore, EF= -0.78 ; FG= -0.52

Step 7: Wind load along +Y direction

Step 8: Wind load along +X direction

External Pressure Coefficient for pitched roof, Consider Table 6, where h/w = 0.93 and roof angle is 18.

 

Therefore, EG= -0.8 ; FH= -0.6

RESULT:- Hence, generated manual wind loading in the design report based IS code 875 part 3.
