Wind Load Calculation as Per BNBC 2020
Wind Load Calculation as Per BNBC 2020
Program Description:
"BNBC-2015" is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of wind loading analysis for buildings
and structures per the "BNBC-2015" Code. Specifically, wind pressure coefficients and related and required
parameters are selected or calculated in order to compute the net design wind pressures.
1. Worksheet for "Simplified" analysis is applicable for low-rise buildings meeting the criteria of Section 6.4.1.
2. In the worksheet for Simplified analysis, the design MWFRS wind load is calculated for each direction.
The design MWFRS load is assumed to be the total wind load on either the width or the length of the
building respectively.
3. Worksheet for "MWFRS (Low-Rise)" is applicable for low-rise buildings as defined in Section 6.2.
4. Worksheets for "MWFRS (Any Ht.)", "Wall C&C", and "Roof C&C" are applicable for buildings with mean roof
heights of up to 500 feet.
5. In worksheets for "MWFRS (Any Ht.)", "Wall C&C", and "Roof C&C" the user may opt to utilize user designated
steps in height, 'z', in determining the wind pressure distribution.
6. Worksheets for "MWFRS (Any Ht.)", "Stacks & Tanks", and "Open Structures" can handle “rigid” as well as
“flexible” buildings and structures. For “rigid” buildings or structures, this program uses the smaller value of
either 0.85 or the calculated value from Section 6.5.8.1 of the Code for the gust effect factor, 'G'. For “flexible”
buildings or structures, this program calculates the gust effect factor, ‘Gf’, per Section 6.5.8.2 of the Code
based on the assumed formula for the fundamental period of vibration from Section 12.8.2.1 of the Code,
where the exponent 'x' in the formula T = Ct*h^x is assumed to be 0.75. In the "Stacks & Tanks" worksheet,
this program uses the specific formula from the ASCE 7-05 Code Commentary for the fundament (mode 1)
natural frequency for a thin-walled cantilevered vessel.
7. Worksheets for "Wall C&C" and "Roof C&C" are applicable for flat roof buildings, gable roof buildings with
roof angles <= 45 degrees, and monoslope roof buildings with roof angles <= 3 degrees.
8. Worksheet for "Stacks & Tanks" is applicable for cantilevered structures up to 600 feet tall.
9. Worksheet for "Open Structures" is applicable for open structures without roofs up to 500 feet
tall. This can be utilized for open process-type structures as well as pipe/utility racks and bridges.
10. This program uses the equations listed in the reference, “Guide to the Use of the Wind Load Provisions of
ASCE 7-05” by Kishor C. Mehta and William L. Coulbourne for determining the external wind pressure
coefficients, ‘GCp’, used in the Wall C&C and Roof C&C worksheets.
11. This program contains numerous “comment boxes” which contain a wide variety of information including
explanations of input or output items, equations used, data tables, etc. (Note: presence of a “comment box”
is denoted by a “red triangle” in the upper right-hand corner of a cell. Merely move the mouse pointer to the
desired cell to view the contents of that particular "comment box".)

Notes: 1. Signs with openings comprising 30% or more of the gross area are classified as open signs.
2. The calculation of the design wind forces shall be based on the area of all exposed members
and elements projected on a plane normal to the wind direction. Forces shall be assumed to
act parallel to the wind direction.
3. The area 'Af' consistent with these force coefficients is the solid area projected normal to the
wind direction.
4. Notation:
e = ratio of solid area to gross area
D = diameter of a typical round member, in feet.
qz = velocity pressure evaluated at height 'z' above ground in psf.
Notes: 1. For all wind directions considered, area 'Af' consistent with force coefficients shall be solid area
of tower face projected on plane of that face for tower segment under consideration.
2. Specified force coefficients are for towers with structural angles or similar flat-sided members.
3. For towers containing rounded member, it is acceptable to multiply specified force coefficients
by following factor when determining wind forces on such members: 0.51*e^2 + 0.57 <= 1.0.
4. Wind forces shall be applied in directions resulting in maximum member forces and reactions.
For towers with square cross-sections, wind forces shall be multiplied by following factor when
wind is directed along a tower diagonal: 1+ 0.75*e <= 1.2.
5. Wind forces on tower appurtenances such as ladder, conduits, lights, elevators, etc., shall be
calculated using appropriate force coefficients for these elements.
6. Notation: e = ratio of solid area to gross area of one tower face for segment considered.
