Example 21- Wind Forces on a Sign Board Hoarding
Problem Statement:
Calculate wind pressure and design forces on a hoarding 10m long and Sm high, to be fixed at the roof of a
24m high building near Cannaught Place area in New Delhi, The base of the hoarding board is 2.0m above
the roof level, See figure 21.1

Wind Fore on Hoarding
Since the length of hoarding is 10m, b/h = 10/5
2.0 and the hoarding is 2m above root, Cy= 1.2
(1S:875-pt.3, Table 21)
Design Wind Force on hoarding, therefore
F~ 1.2 x10 x 0,6633 x 5.0 ~ 3.98 KN acting at (2
2.5)=4.5m_ above roof
To allow for oblique winds, force coefficients of
1,7 and 0.44 are to be taken at two ends, as per
section 6.3.4.1]
Accordingly, 3.98 x 1.7/1.2 = 5.64 KN at
windward edge and
3.98 x0.44/1.2 = 1.46 KN at leeward edge shall be
considered, per meter width of hoarding.
Pressure distribution
In vertical direction the wind force may be
considered constant over the height,
‘The hoarding sheet will be designed for a force of
5.645 = 1.128 Kim?
The frame of hoarding will be designed for
average pressure intensity depending on the
spacing of vertical frames.
