    The document discusses wind load calculation for a power station building according to the BS 6399:2 1997 code. The building height, terrain exposure, and adjacent structures are used to determine the effective wind speed for the site.

    The building is categorized as a post-disaster structure and is a framed structure with structural walls. It has a basic wind speed of 40 m/s and belongs to building type 1.

    The site wind speed is determined by considering the altitude factor, distance to sea, site altitude, topography, seasonal factor, and probability factor according to Clause 2.2.2.1-2.2.2.4 of the code.

    Building Wind Zone


    = 3
    Since the building is a power station, it is categorized as a post-disaster
    Structure
    So basic 3-second gust wind speed

    = 38 m/s

    But the minimum 3 second wind speed to be taken for wind analysis = 40 m/s
    Hence Vbasic = 40 m/s which is in terms of three second gust speed

    Vbasic = 40 m/s

    1 since this building is a framed structure with structural walls

    Building Height above ground level

    ; within limits
    0.035 <0.25
    Dynamic Augmentation Factor = Cr
    =
    ; within limits
    So the assessment of the wind load to this structure is within the scope of the code
    Choice of Method
    For majority of simple rectangular shaped building it will be sufficient to use standard method of calculating
    wind loads with four orthogonal cases. Other than that the code restrict that it must only be used only for UK cli
    mate condition. So expecting of higher accuracy of using directional method is meaningless
    So Standard Method of analysis is used

    Wind Loading is
    within the scope
    of the code

    Standard Method
    is used

    Determination of Site Wind Speed


    Site Wind Speed

    Altitude Factor Sa
    Site Contour Map
    Figure 7

    Distance to the Sea = 0.9 km; Altitude of the Site = 4.2 m MSL
    So Upwind Slope = 4.2/900 = 0.005 <0.05
    Hence Topography is not significant

    Topography is
    not significant

    DS =

    4.2 m
    Sa = 1 + 0.001xDS

    Clause 2.2.2.4

    1 + 0.001x4.2

    1.004

    Seasonal Factor Ss
    Since this structure is permanent and exposed to wind for continuous period of more than 6 months
    Ss =
    1
    Probability Factor Sp
    Since partial safety factors are used based on BS 8110 part 01 to the wind load; Sp = 1
    Sp = 1.0
    Directional Factor, Site Wind Speed, Terrain and building Factor and Effective Wind Speed
    For the consideration of the directional factor, Four orthogonal wind directions are selected as follows
