WIND INTRODUCTION

For K2 Refer Table 2 of IS:875-3

Category 1 No obstructions available to the building ex : Sea
coasts and flat tree less Plains where other structure if
:
any have heights less than 1.5 m

Category 2 : Open terrain with well scattered obstructions of 1.5 m to 10 m height

Category 3 : Refer to area of closely spaced buildings of heights upto 10 m
Category 4 : Refer to area with highly closed buildings of large heights

Factor K2 also depends on the dimensions of the building under consideration.

The structures are classified as

Class A : max l,b,h : <20 m

Class B : max l,b,h : 20 to 50 m
Class C : max l,b,h : > 50 m

For K3 Wind motion depends on topography of the area

if upward wind slope Theta <=3 : K3=1 Refer code

Theta > 3 : K3=1.0 to 1.36

Step 1 : Design Wind Speed (Vz) :

Vz = Vb X K1 X K2 X K3
Where Vb = Basic Wind Speed
K1 = Risk Coefficient
K2 = Terrain height and structure size factor
K3 = Topography Factor

Step 2 : Design Wind Pressure pz' (6.2.1)

The Design wind pressure at any height above mean Ground level shall be obtained by the

pz = 0.6 Vz2

Where pz = Design wind Pressure in N/m2 at height Z

Vz = Design wind speed in m/sec

Wind Loads on Buildings :

Wind Load : Net pressure acting on the surface and the surface area.

Net Pressure : Algebraic sum of external and internal wind pressure acting on the surface.

external pressure coefficient,depends on the dimensions,roof angels and

Cpe : shape of the building.

Cpi : internal pressure or internal suction.

F= (Cpe-Cpi)A X pd

Where Cpe : External presure Coefficient

Cpi : Internal pressure Co-efficient
A : Surface area of the structural element or cladding unit
pd : Design Wind Pressure.

Note :
For Symmetrical Buildings : Wind Loads are calculated in X & Y Directions.

It may be necessary to investigate the

forces due to wind from all directions.
For Unsymmetrical Buildings :
