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 = 39 m/s

Terrain category = 2

Procedure -

We need to first calculate load combination.

Result- Calculations are done for the wall panel.

2. Aim - Based on the above calculation apply the loading on the model

Procedure -

  • Open tekla structural software and open week 4 file
  • Select load tab, in that select loadcases and add new load cases

  • Now as per value apply the load
  • Apply area load on Frame C, wind+y-Cpi = -1.521kN/m2
  • Negative value means wind acting away from the wind panel

  • Apply area load on Frame 1, wind +x+Cpi = 1.394kN/m2

  • Apply area load on Frame G, wind -Y+Cpi = 1.394kN/m2.

  • Apply area load on Frame G, wind -Y-Cpi = 1.521kN/m2.

  • Apply area load on Frame G, wind +Y+Cpi = 0.253kN/m2.

Member loads are also applied to all outer columns as a trial, throughout the structure.

  • Apply area load on Frame G, wind +X-Cpi = 0.951kN/m2.

  • Apply area load on roof of the structure -X+Cpi = 0.060kN/m2.

  • Apply area load on roof of the structure -X-Cpi = 1.267kN/m2.

  • Apply area load on roof of the structure +Y-Cpi = 0.1kN/m2.

  • Apply area load on roof of the structure +Y+Cpi = 1.204 kN/m2.

  • Apply area load on roof of the structure +X+Cpi = 1.267 kN/m2.

  • Apply area load on roof of the structure +X-Cpi = 0.2 kN/m2.

  • Apply area load on roof of the structure -Y+Cpi = 1.267 kN/m2.

  • Apply area load on roof of the structure -Y-Cpi = 1.204 kN/m2.

Result -

3. Aim - On a separate model generate wind loading using wind wizard

Procedure -

  • Open the file
  • Open load cases in load tab
  • Delete all load cases and set only default load cases

  • On load panel select wind wizard and select the cyclonic effect

  • Check all the details of the building like wind speed,height of building affected by wind and also k1 and k2 factor

  • Select terrain category as open terrain scattered obstructions
  • Fetch distance is 10

  • Click next then select topography and then next
  • After that,it shows resultant wind pressure

  • Click on Finish
  • Now click on wind load cases

  • Now all the loads are applied and click on validation to check for errors.
  • After no errors the result is formed as:
