Solution:
AIM: To generate the manual wind loading in the design report based IS code according to the given input.
- Basic Wind Speed = 39 m/s.
- Terrain Category = 2.
Manual Calculations:
Given Data:
Basic wind speed = 39 m/s.
Terrain Category = 2.
Greater horizontal dimensions of structure, l = 18m.
Shorter side dimension, w = 18m.
Eaves level height of the structure, h = 14m.
Width of frame-1 between A and B = 7.2m.
According to the IS 875 Part-lll Clause 6.3.1:
Vb = Basic wind speed = 39 m/s. (According to the IS code 875 Part:2 Appendix:A).
Design Wind Speed, Vz = Vb*k1*k2*k3*k4.
Where,
k1 = Probability Factor.
k2 = Terrain height, structure factor.
k3 = Topography Factor.
k4 = Importance Factor for the cyclonic region.
- According to IS 875 Part-lll: Table:1 the value of k1 = 1.0.

- According to IS 875 Part-lll, Table:2, the value of k2 = 1.05.

- According to IS 875 Part-lll, the value of k3 = 1.

- According to IS Part-lll, the value of k4 = 1.15.

Calculations:
Wind Speed = 39 m/s.
Life Period of the structure = 50 years.
Terrain Category = 2.
Class Structure = A.
Step 1: Design Wind Speed and Design Wind Pressure:
- Design Wind Speed:
Design Wind Speed, Vz = Vb*k1*k2*k3*k4.
Design Wind Speed, Vz = 39*1.0*1.05*1*1.15.
Design Wind Speed, Vz = 47.09 m/s.
Design Wind Pressure, Pz = 0.6*`Vz^2`
Pz = 0.6*`(47.09)^2`
Design Wind Pressure, Pz = 1330 N/sq.m.
Design Wind Pressure, Pz = 1.3 kN/sq.m.
Roof angle = 25 degree.
Internal pressure co-efficient = 0.50 (Upto 20% opening).
Internal pressure co-efficient = +0.50 (Upto 20% opening).
Step 2 : Ratio of wall and roof co-efficient:
Wall:
l/w = 1.00.
h/w = 0.67.
Roof:
h/w = 0.67.
