Wind Load

1. This document outlines the procedure for determining wind loads on buildings according to NSCP 2015 standards. It involves determining the occupancy category, basic wind speed, wind directionality factor, exposure category, topographic factor, enclosure classification, internal pressure coefficient, velocity pressure exposure coefficient, external pressure coefficient, wind pressure, and design wind load. 2. Key steps include using tables and figures to determine wind speed and pressure coefficients based on building location and characteristics, then calculating wind pressure and load using equations that factor in velocity pressure, external and internal pressure coefficients, and projected area. 3. A frame analysis is then performed to assess the distributed wind loads on the building.

PROCEDURE

1. Determine the occupancy category of the building or other structures. (See NSCP 2015, Table
103-1)
2. Determine the basic wind speed, V, for the applicable risk category. (See NSCP 2015, Figure
2071.5-1A,B or C)
3. Determine wind load parameters:
 Wind directionality factor, 𝐾𝑑 , (See Section 207A.6 and Table 207A.6-1)
 Exposure Category B, C or D, (See Section 207A.7)
 Topographic factor, 𝐾𝑧𝑡 , (See Section 207A.8 and Figure 207A.8-1)
𝑲𝒛𝒕 = (𝟏 + (𝑲𝟏 )(𝑲𝟐 )(𝑲𝟑 ))𝟐

Where:

𝑲𝟏 , 𝑲𝟐 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑲𝟑 are given in the Figure 207A.8-1

Note:

If the site conditions and locations of structures do not meet all the conditions specified in
Section 207A.8.1 then 𝑲𝒛𝒕 = 1.0

 Enclosure classification, (See Section 207A.10)


 Internal pressure coefficient, (𝐺𝐶𝑝𝑖 ), (See Section 207A.11 and Table 207A.11-1)

4. Determine the velocity pressure exposure coefficient, 𝐾𝑧 or 𝐾ℎ , (See Section 207C.4.4, Table
207C.3-1)

5. Determine the velocity pressure, 𝑞𝑧 or 𝑞ℎ , (See Section 207C.3.2 Equation 207C.3-1)


Velocity pressure𝒒𝒛 , evaluated at height z shall be calculated by the following equation:
𝑁
𝑞𝑧 = 0.613 𝐾𝑧 𝐾𝑧𝑡 𝐾𝑑 𝑉 2 ( ) ; 𝑉 𝑖𝑛 𝑚/𝑠 (𝟐𝟎𝟕𝑪. 𝟑 − 𝟏)
𝑚2
Where:

𝐾𝑑 = wind directionality factor, see Section 207A.6

𝐾𝑧 = velocity pressure exposure coefficient, see Section 207C.3.1

𝐾𝑧𝑡 = topographic factor defined, see Section 207A.8.2

𝑉 = basic wind speed, See Section 207A.5.1

𝑞𝑧 = velocity pressure calculated using Equation 207C.3.1 at mean roof height


𝒉.

6. Determine external pressure coefficient, (𝐺𝐶𝑝 ), using Figure 207C.4-1 for flat and gable roofs.
7. Calculate wind pressure, 𝑝, from the Equation 207C.4-1.

𝑝 = 𝑞ℎ [(𝐺𝐶𝑝𝑓 ) − (𝐺𝐶𝑝𝑖 )] (𝑁/𝑚2 )

Where:

𝑞ℎ = velocity pressure evaluated at mean aroof height h as defined in Section


207A.3

(𝐺𝐶𝑝𝑓 ) = external pressure coefficient from Figure 207C.4-1

(𝐺𝐶𝑝𝑖 ) = internal pressure coefficient from Table 207A.11-1

8. Calculate the design wind load 𝐹.


𝐹 = [𝑝(𝐴)]

Where:
𝑝 = wind pressure
𝐴 = projected area normal to the wind

9. Draw the detailed frame analysis of the wind load.
