Determining Risk Category of Building or Other Structure

1. Determining risk category of building or other structure.
Table 103 -1 Occupancy Category
Occupancy Category of the building = IV ; Base from the table above.

2. Determine the basic wind speed, V, for the applicable category.
Figure 207A.5-1A Basic Wind Speed for Occupancy Category IV and V
The location of the building is located at the Province of Dinagat Islands (Caraga Region). As the
occupancy category of the structure is categorized as IV, and base on the map above (figure 207A.5-1A) the basic
wind speed is;
V = 300km/h
3. Determine wind load parameters:
a. Wind directionality factor, Kd ;
The type of the structure is categorize as a Main Wind Resisting Structure, and base on the table
above its wind directionality factor is:
Kd = 0.85
b1. Exposure category:
IN THIS SITE
d1 = 405.06m
Base on the site location above;

d1 > 790 m
d1 > 180 m
Therefore the structure is categorize to exposure D*.
Note:
* surface roughness D: Flat, unobstructed areas and water surfaces. This category includes
smooth mud flats, salt flats and unbroken ice..
b2. Determine the topographic effects:
IN THIS SITE
Topographic Map
Site Elevation*
* Due to lack of data and resources, the Site Elevation in assumed based on the topographic map, it was analyzed
through projecting its elevation and with the help of the designer by his experience living on the said location. It
is more essential to consider this site elevation rather than neglecting it.
Since the site condition and location of the structure does not meet the third condition specified above
then ;
Kzt = 1.0
c. Determine the gust effect factor (G);
Frequency determination
- Checking the limitations of approximate Natural Frequency
1. hm = 8.25m < 90m

2.
Frame along column C:
13.46(11.22+8.25+6.33)
= = 13.46 m
(11.22+8.25+6.32)
Frame along column 4:
10(11.22+8.25+6.33)
= = 10 m
(11.22+8.25+6.33)
Therefore, hm < 4Leff
- Checking the approximate Frequency

For concrete moment – resisting frame;
na = 43.5/h0.9
na = 43.5/(8.45)0.9 = 6.37 Hz > 1 Hz
Therefore, the building is rigid.
Use;
G = 0.85
d. Determine the enclosure classification
Accordingly, the code requires that a determination be made of the amount of openings
in the envelope to assess enclosure classification (enclosed, partially, enclosed, or opening). “Openings” are
specially defined in the version of the code as “apertures or holes in the building envelope which allow air to
flow through the building envelope and which are designed as “open” during winds”. (NSCP 2015, Section
207A.10)
If a building by definition complies with both the “open” and “partially enclosed” definitions, it
shall be classified as an “open” building. A building that does not comply with either the “open” or “partially
enclosed” definitions shall be classified as an “enclosed” building. (NSCP 2015, 207A.10.4)
- Checking for enclosure classification

For building partially enclosed condition;
1. Ao > 1.01Aoi
Ao = 21.94 m2
Aoi = 29.3 m2
Since,
21.94 m2 < 1.01(29.3 m2)
Therefore, the building is classified as “enclosed building”.
As from this table for enclosed buildings;
GCpi = ±0.18
Table 207A.11-1
4. Determine velocity pressure exposure coefficient, Kz , Kh.

hm = 8.25m
Kz = 1.088
Kh = 1.14
5. Determine the velocity pressure qz or qh.

Given that;
Kzt = 1.0
Kz = 1.088
Kh = 1.14
Kd = 0.85
V = 300km/h
We get;
qz = 3.939716944
qh = 4.124979167
6. Determine the external pressure coefficient, Cp.
h (m.) 8.25 L/B = 1.3684

B (m.) 10 h/L = 0.825
