Challenge

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

1.

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

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

PROCEDURE:

  • First we Calculate the load cominh on the structure and make the report
  • RESULT: All the calculation part done for the wall panels of the structure

2.

AIM: Based on the above calculation apply the loadings on the model

PROCEDURE:

  • Open the Tekla structural software
  • Open the week 4 file we were working on
  • Go to load panel->Loadcases->Add new wind load cases
  • Now for the wind cases, apply the load as per calculated in the Excel sheets above starting from the wind+Y+Cpi condition.
  • Now as per the values in the sheet,apply the laod .
  • 0.253KN/m2 acting on
  • Frame 7 Wind+y+Cpi
  • -0.951KN/m2 acting on
  • Frame 3 Wind+y+CPi
  • Here -Ve value means the wind is acting away from the wind panel.
  • Next load is 1.521KN/m2 acting on
  • face7 as Wind+Y-Cpi
  • Now the next load is 0.317KN/m2 on
  • face3 as Wind+Y-Cpi
  • Now we will apply wind loads on the Face A&D grids (i.e. face C &D )
  • Go to the load section in the bottom left and select wind+y+Cpi
  • Select the area load
  • Select global axis as X
  • and enter the value -1.394KN/m2 for Face C
  • Similarly go to Face D(i.e grid D)
  • Enter the value of load -0.127KN/m2
  • select globals axis X and load pattern wind+Y-Cpi
  • Now we will apply the load of -Y
  • All loading will be similar just the direction of wind is changed
  • The load which was acting on the face 7 will act on Face 3 now with opposite sign.
  • The face A will be considered as Face B and B will be as Face A
  • Frame 3 wind -Y+Cpi
  • -0.253KN/m2
  • Frame 7 wind -Y+Cpi
  • 0.951KN/m2
  • Frame 3 wind -Y-Cpi
  • -1.521KN/m2
  • Frame 7 wind -Y-Cpi
  • -0.317KN/m2
  • Now we apply load on Frame D as Wind-Y+Cpi
  • with global axis X 1.394KN/m2
  • Now we apply load on Frame A as Wind-Y-Cpi
  • with global axis X 0.127KN/m2

//Similarly we apply the Wind X values as above after calculating the wind load in X direction

//For the X direction we use the value of 90degree and put in the values we find according to that

  • Now we apply wind load on the roofs
  • We find the angle of the roof which is 25degree
  • according to that we find the external coefficient acting on the roof
  • from IS 875 part 3 table 3 Clause 6.2.3.2
  • Now we apply load on Roof EF
  • Frame 2 slope wind+Y+CPi
  • -1.204KN/m2
  • Frame 2 slope wind+Y-CPi
  • 0.063KN/m2
  • Roof GH
  • Frame 1 slope wind+Y+Cpi
  • -1.267KN/m2
  • Roof GH
  • Frame 1 slope wind+Y-Cpi
  • 0KN/m2
  • Now we apply -Y loading on roof
  • The EF will become roof GH and will have -Ve values of EF we applied before
  • Roof EF
  • Frame 1 slope wind-Y+Cpi
  • 1.204KN/m2
  • Roof EF
  • Frame 1 slope wind-Y-Cpi
  • -0.063KN/m2
  • Roof GH
  • Frame 2 slope wind-Y+Cpi
  • 1.267KN/m2
  • Roof GH
  • Frame 2 slope wind-Y-Cpi
  • 0KN/m2

//Similarly we apply load on X direction for roof as we applied in Y

given below is the data required to fill the load for X direction

3.

AIM: On a separate model generate wind loading using wind wizard

PROCEDURE:

  • Make a copy o the above tekla file
  • Open the file
  • Go to load panel->Loadcases
  • Select the wind load cases you gave in the previous question and delete all.
  • Only the default load cases will be left.
  • On load panel->click on a Wind wizard ->Worst case data
  • Tick the cyclonnic effect
  • Now check all the basic details of the buildings like basic wind speed,height of bulding affected by wind
  • k1,K2 factors,structure types
  • Check the terrain category->In this case it is category 2
  • Fetch distance is the clear distance between other buildings from your building.
  • Click Next->then comes topography(if you want any,then select )or click NExt
  • Now the resultant wind pressure is shown which are acting on the structure.
  • Now click on finish.
  • Now on wind load tab->Click on wind loadcases
  • enter the loadcases you want manually
  • Now the loads were applied on the structure in all the direction as per the values entered
  • Click on validation to check for any errors->No errors are shown
