Meja STPP (2X660 MW) Criteria For Wind Resistant Design of Structures and Equipment

This document provides criteria for wind resistant design of structures and equipment at the MEJA STPP power plant. It specifies that all structures shall be designed according to IS:875 (Part-3) and the additional information in Annexure B. Along wind forces shall be computed using the peak wind speed and gust factor methods, using the higher calculated force. Structures with height to width ratios over 5 or frequencies under 1 Hz require dynamic wind analysis. Susceptibility to across-wind forces must also be considered. The minimum design wind pressure shall be 1500 N/Sq.m. for all structure classes. Site-specific parameters in Annexure B include a basic wind speed of 47 m/s, risk coefficient of 1

MEJA STPP (2X660 MW)

CRITERIA FOR WIND RESISTANT DESIGN OF STRUCTURES AND EQUIPMENT

All structures shall be designed for wind forces in accordance with IS:875 (Part-3)
and as specified in this document. See Annexure – B for site specific information.

Along wind forces shall generally be computed by the Peak (i.e. 3 second gust) Wind
Speed method as defined in the standard.

Along wind forces on slender and wind sensitive structures and structural elements
shall also be computed, for dynamic effects, using the Gust Factor or Gust
Effectiveness Factor Method as defined in the standard. The structures shall be
designed for the higher of the forces obtained from Gust Factor method and the Peak
Wind Speed method.

Analysis for dynamic effects of wind must be undertaken for any structure which has
a height to minimum lateral dimension ratio greater than “5” and/or if the fundamental
frequency of the structure is less than 1 Hz.

Susceptibility of structures to across-wind forces, galloping, flutter, ovalling etc.


should be examined and designed/detailed accordingly following the
recommendations of IS:875(Part-3) and other relevant Indian standards.

It should be estimated if size and relative position of other structures are likely to
enhance the wind loading on the structure under consideration. Enhancement factor,
if necessary, shall suitably be estimated and applied to the wind loading to account
for the interference effects.

Damping in Structures

The damping factor (as a percentage of critical damping) to be adopted shall not be
more than as indicated below for:

a) Welded steel structures : 1.0%

b) Bolted steel structures : 2.0%

c) Reinforced concrete structures : 1.6%

d) Steel stacks : As per IS:6533 & CICIND Model


Code whichever is more critical.

ANNEXURE-B

SITE SPECIFIC DESIGN PARAMETERS

The various design parameters, as defined in IS: 875 (Part-3), to be adopted for the
project site shall be as follows:

a) The basic wind speed “Vb” at ten


metres above the mean ground level : 47 metres/second

b) The risk coefficient “K1” : 1.07

c) Category of terrain : Category-2

Note: Notwithstanding the values of the above mentioned parameters, the design
wind pressure so computed at any point shall not be taken less than 1500
N/Sq. metre for all classes of structures, i.e. A, B & C, as defined in IS: 875
(Part-3).
