Wind Load Calculation

The document calculates wind loads on a skid based on its dimensions and the basic and design wind speeds at the skid's elevation of 43.4 meters. It determines the wind force in the x direction is 20.50 kN (0.612 kN/m) and in the z direction is 11.89 kN (0.639 kN/m) based on the area of the skid in each direction and using the formula that considers air density, wind speed, shape factor, and area.

Operating Case

Basic Wind Speed at 10.0m height V(1 min, ZR) = 21.4 m/s
Elevation z= 43.4 m

(0.125)
Design Wind Speed, m/s V(1 min, Z) = V(1 min, ZR x (Z/ZR)^
= 25.70988 m/s

Wind Pressure
Overall projection
The shape factor for Skid Cs = 1
Area object Direction X Ax = 50.6 m2
Area object Direction Z Az = 29.348 m2

Wind Force Direction X,W6 (270°),


Fx = (ρ/2)V² x Cs x Ax
0.613 x V2 x Cs x Ax
= 20502.70 N
Total Load Ftx = 20502.70 N
20.50 kN = 0.612 kN/m

Wind Force Direction Z, W7 (0°) Fz = (ρ/2)V² x Cs x Az


0.613 x V2 x Cs x Az
= 11891.56 N
Total Load Ftz = 11891.56 N
= 11.89 kN 0.639 kN/m
