“NR” denotes uniform loads that are non-reducible. Other live loads may be reduced in accordance with
codes.

5.0 Wind Load Criteria

5.1 Basic Wind Speed
According to the wind speed map for Great Britain and Ireland the basic wind speed at the site is 21 m/s.

5.2 Wind Speed

The site wind speed is determined from the basic wind speed taking into consideration the influence of
the site altitude, direction, seasonal changes in climate and a probability factor.
Altitude factor, Sa = 1 + 0.001 S = 1 + 0.001 x m = 1.02

Direction factor, Sd = 1.0

Seasonal factor Ss: as the building is considered to be exposed to wind for a period greater than 6
months, no reduction applies. Ss = 1.0.

Probability factor Sp: the standard probability of exceeding the basic wind speed is used. Sp = 1.0.

Site wind speed, Vs = Vb x Sa x Sd x Ss x Sp = 21.42 = m/s
