NSCP Wind Load Analysis
NSCP Wind Load Analysis
Calculation Procedure:
Occupancy Category The tower and the utility building’s is not an essential facility nor
hazardous facility. The tower and the utility building’s ability to
transmit radio signals on a wide range of users and a utility building
which will withstand weather and seismic systems.
Table 103.1
Occupancy Category III
Basic Wind Speed, V Communication Tower with Four-Storey Utility Building is located at
Barangay Cogonan J.p. Laurel St., nasugbu Batangas. Using Wind
Hazard Map, The basic wind the basic wind speed may be taken as
260kph.

V=72.22m/s
Wind directionality Factor, Kd Wind Directionally Factor kdto 0.85 for building on MWFRS use
Section 207A.6-10
kd =0.85
Topographic Factor, kzt The tower and utility building is on a relatively flet terrain and
does not meet all the conditionas specified in section207A.8.1
then
Section 207A.8.2
kzt=1.0
Wind directionality Factor, Kd Wind Directionally Factor kdto 0.85 for building on MWFRS use
Section 207A.6-10
kd =0.85
Topographic Factor, kzt The Tower and Utility building is on a relatively flet terrain and
does not meet all the conditionas specified in section207A.8.1
then
Section 207A.8.2
kzt=1.0
NSCP 2015WIND LOAD CALCULATION FOR MAIN WIND FORCE RESISTING SYSTEM
Section 207C discusses about Envelope Procedure for Enclosed & Partially Enclosed Low-Rise
Buildings:
This Procedure is the former "low-rise buildings method" in NSCP 2010 (ASCE 7-05) Method 2.
This section also incorporates NSCP 2010 (ASCE7-05) Method 1 for MWFRS applicable to the MWFRS
of enclosed simple diaphragm building less than 18m in height
na = 1.346230406 Hz
Since the structure is considered as Rigid Building, the gust effect factor G shall be taken as 0.85 or
can be calculated by the formula. section 207A.9.4
G= 0.85
