Calculate the design wind pressure if the basic wind speed is 44 m/s, risk coefficient is 1, topography factor is 1, terrain is with closely spaced buildings and height of building(class A) = 20m .(a) 1285 N/m^2(b) 1580 N/m^2(c) 1085 N/m^2(d) 1185 N/m^2This question was addressed to me during an internship interview.This key question is from Determination of Wind Loads & Load Combinations topic in division Structural Analysis, Loading and Load Combinations of Design of Steel Structures

Answer»

Correct option is (d) 1185 N/m^2

For explanation: Vb = 44m/s, k1 = 1, K3 = 1,

for terrain with CLOSELY spaced buildings, height of building=20m, class A: k2=1.01 (from IS 875 Part 3)

 VZ = k1k2k3Vb = 1×1.01x1x44 = 44.44 m/s

pz = 0.6Vz2 = 0.6x(44.44)2 = 1184.95 N/m^2.
