Wind - Loading For CW3 PDF

This document calculates wind loads for a curtain wall structure based on Indian wind code CP3: Chapter V : Part 2 :1972. It provides the basic wind speed, design wind speed, dynamic pressure, and external pressure coefficients to determine wind loads. The structure has dimensions of 160m long, 20m high, and 80m wide. The general pressure coefficient is 1.00 and suction coefficients are -1.20 at corners and -0.80 at general areas. This results in wind loads of 0.80 kN/m2 for pressure and -0.90 kN/m2 and -0.60 kN/m2 for suction.

WIND LOAD CALCULATION FOR CW-3 ALL AREA

DYNAMIC WIND SPEED BASED ON CP3: CHAPTER V : PART 2 :1972

Basic Wind Speed V = 33 m/sec


Design Wind Speed Vs = V*S1*S2*S3
Where S1 = Topography factor
S2 = Ground rougnness factor
Class A Roughness 2
S3 = Statistical factor
Dynamic pressure q = K*(Vs)2
K 0.613
Calculation of Dynamic wind Pressure q:

H V S1 S2 S3 Vs K q
