Wind Load Calculation for Varanasi-

Varanasi is situated in Zone II at the boundary of Zone II & Zone IV.

Basic Wind speed Vb = 47 m/s (IS:875-pt.3, Sec 5.2)

Design Wind Speed VZ = Vbk1k2k3 (IS:875-pt.3, Sec 5.3)


= 471.070.981.0 = 49.3 m/s

Terrain category: Category 2. (IS:875-pt.3, Sec 5.3.2.1)

Risk Coefficient factor k1 = 1.07 (IS:875-pt.3, Sec 5.3.1,


Table-1)

Terrain & Height factor k2 = 0.98 (IS:875-pt.3, Sec 5.3.2.2,


Table-2)

Topography factor k3 = 1.00 (IS:875-pt.3, Sec 5.3.3.1)

Design Wind Pressure - pZ = 0.6 (VZ) 2


(IS:875-pt.3, Sec 5.4)
= 0.6(49.3)2 = 1458.3 N/m2

Wind Load Calculations:


F = (Cpe-Cpi) Apd (IS:875-pt.3, Sec 6.3.1)

Internal Pressure Coefficient Cpi = 0.2 (IS:875-pt.3, Sec 6.3.2.2)


Internal Pressure Coefficient Cpe =

F=(-.9-.2)XAX1457.3 = -1604.1 N/m2

Purlin placed at 1.4 m c/c, upward udl acting over purlin = 2.24 kN/m
