    Wind Load in Staad

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses how to define wind loading in STAAD PRO. It explains the two step process of first defining wind load definitions, which includes inputting wind intensities with respect to height. The second step is defining wind load cases, which involves creating four cases for winds in different directions and their subcases. Figures and links are provided to illustrate defining the wind definition type, adding exposure factors, and assigning load cases and subcases for windward and leeward faces.

    1st April 2016 "STAAD PRO"- Wind loading


    Hello,

    9. Loading
    • Dead and live loads
    [http://structuralsols.blogspot.in/2016/03/staad-pro-loading.html]
    • Earthquake/seismic loading (1)
    [http://structuralsols.blogspot.in/2016/03/staad-pro-earthquake-

    • Earthquake/seismic loading (2)
    [http://structuralsols.blogspot.in/2016/03/staad-pro-seismic-
    loadingjoint-weight.html]

    ************************************************************
    Now we are going to work with Wind loadings

    Like in Seismic loading we have to do it in two steps


    1. Defining wind load definitions
    2. Defining load cases
    WIND LOAD DEFINITIONS

    STEP-1:-
    Go to--definitions--wind definitions--add

    Fig 1

    New dialog box is opened as shown in above fig1


    input the same data as shown and click add

    STEP-2:-
    Click on the option available in below wind definition(TYPE1:WIND1)
    new dialog box will open

    Fig 2
    We are now going to input the intensity details i.e, Wind intensities
    with respect to height
    ..............................................................................................................
    ...................................
    Note:-
    1.You are supposed to calculate these values by the wind codes of
    your respective countries like for India it is IS:875(Part 3)
    2. If you are not able to calculate these loads you can go for the
    "Calculate as per ASCE-7"Just input the details and its done.
    ..............................................................................................................
    ..................................

    Fig 3

    On clicking add New box is opened asking for the Exposure Factor. It
    depends upon location of the structure with respect to nearby
    buildings. You can calculate these factor manually and input the
    value and click add.
    If no exposure factor is to be provided just close the box.

    DONE, Wind definition part has been completed now moving on the
    load cases.

    DEFINING WIND LOAD CASES

    In case of wind 4 case needs to be define


    • WL+X(wind in positive X-direction)
    • WL-X(wind in negative X-direction)
    • WL+Z(wind in positive Z-direction)
    • WL-Z(wind in negative Z-direction)
    ..............................................................................................................
    .....................................................
    Note:- Windward face- the face which is facing the wind directly and
    Leeward face- face which is just opposite the to windward face
    ..............................................................................................................
    .....................................................

    STEP 4:-
    go to--Load case details--add--wind load--WL+X(title) see Fig4

    qB5tZ6-ZJQ/s1600/4.JPG]
    Fig 4

    Do this for all the remaining cases

    STEP 5:-
    In Load case: WL+X
    We Need to define 4 sub load cases
    • Windward face in X direction with factor 1 (Fig 5)
    • Leeward face in X direction with factor 1
    • Leeward face in Z direction with factor 1
    • Leeward face in Z direction with factor -1 (Fig 6)
    Similarly For all the the Remaining 3 load case can be done

    you need not to give the range data Staad will pic up the surfaces
    automatically

    DONE, we have done with Wind loading

    Final model will Look like fig 7.
