Wind Load Calculations:

The smallest rectangular

that encloses the plan
shape of the building

In order to calculating the scaling dimensions of the building, a rectangular encloses

the plan shape of the building will be considered as shown.

IS 875 - Part 3 Wind Load Calculations:

Appendix (A) * Basic Wind Speed (Vb) = 50 m/sec

clause 5.3 * Design Wind Speed (Vz) = Vb * K1 * K2 * K3

clause 5.3.1 .. K1 : Risk factor

table 1 for design life 50 years K1 = 1.0

clause 5.3.2 .. K2 : Terrain, Height and Structure size factor

table 2
Terrain: The structure lies in a large city which means category 4, however
category 3 will be considered in the design to be more conservative.

Size: The greatest dimension of the structure is 21.0 m (>20 m) , however

the structure will be considered class (A) to be more conservative.

Height: at 1st Floor = 5.2 m K 2 = 0.91

at 2nd Floor = 10.1 m K 2 = 0.91
at Roof = 15.7 m K 2 = 0.98

clause 5.3.3 .. K3 : Topography factor = 1.0

Then: Vz = 50 * 1.0 * 0.91 * 1.0 = 45.5 m/sec at 1st and 2nd Floors Level
Vz = 50 * 1.0 * 0.98 * 1.0 = 49.0 m/sec at Roof Level

* Design Wind Pressure (pz) = 0.6 * (Vz)2

= 1240 N/m2 = 1.24 kN/m2 at 1st and 2nd Floors Level
= 1440 N/m2 = 1.44 kN/m2 at Roof Level
