WIND FORCES ON FREE STANDING FRAMED BLOCK WORK
1.0 DESIGN PARAMETERS
Height of Wall = 3.80 m
Thickness of Wall = 0.20 m
Grade beam width = 0.35 m
Grade beam depth = 0.60 m
Density of Block work = 20.80 kN/m3
Density of RCC = 25.00 kN/m3
Factor of safety for overturning = 1.40
3.0 WIND LOAD CALCULATIONS
The Wind Load on the structure is calculated in accordance with IS 875, Part III .
Basic Wind Speed Considered Vb = 50.00 m/s Annex A, Clause 6.2
Risk Coefficient k1 = 1.00 Table 1, Clause 6.3.1
Terrain, Height and structure size Coefficient k2 = 1.00 Table 2, Clause [Link]
(for Terrain Catergory = 2, Class-A and Height = 10m)
Topography Factor k3 = 1.00
Importance Factor for Cyclonic Region k4 = 1.00 For Block work
Design Wind Speed, Vz = Vb*k1*k2*k3*k4
Design Wind Speed at 10.0 m height Vz = 50 m/s
For Compound Wall of height 2.50 M < 10.0 M, the above design speed can be reduced by 20% as per note
in Clause 6.30 of IS 875, Part 3 : 2015
Thus reduced Vz for Compound Wall = 50*0.8 Vz = 40 m/s
Wind Pressure at height = 40^2*0.6 Pz = 960 N/m2 Pz = 0.6*Vz2
Design Wind Pressure, Pd = Ka*Kd*Kc*Pz Clause 7.0
Kd = Wind Directionality Factor = 0.90 Clause 7.2.1
Ka = Area Averaging Factor = 0.93 Clause 7.2.2
(For Tributary Area = 5.3*3.8 = 20.14 m2)
Kc = Combination Factor = 0.90 As per Clause [Link]
Design Wind Pressure = 726 N/m 2
Pd = Ka*Kd*Kc*Pz
Pd shall not be less than 0.7*Pz = 672 N/m2
OK
Wind Force on Wall Panel, F = Cf*Ae*Pd
For Wall on Ground, b/H = 80/3.8 = 21.05 say 22 Cf = 1.40 Table 26,Clause [Link]
Force on Wall =1.4*3.8*726/1000 = 3.86 kN/m
2.0 SPAN TO THICKNESS RATIO
Design Wind Pressure = 72.60 kN/m2
Check for vertical span
Vertical Span Ratio H/t = 25 SP 20, Table E-5
Allowable vertical span = 5.0 m
Actual Wall height = 3.8 m
OK
Check for Horizontal Span
Horizontal Span Ratio L/t = 35 SP 20, Table E-5
Allowable Horizontal span = 7.0 m
Maximum span provided = 5.0 m
OK
5.0 DEAD LOAD CALCULATIONS
Self Weight of the Wall, P
S/W of Block work = (0.2*2.55*20.8)+(0.2*1.1*20.8) = 15.808 kN/m
S/W of Coping Beam = 0.20*0.15*25 = 0.750 kN/m
Total weight of free standing wall = 15.808+0.75 P = 16.558 kN/m

Eccentricity = (0.35 / 2 ) - ( 0.2 / 2 ) e = 0.075 m
4.0 BENDING MOMENT CALCULATIONS
Moment due to Wall Panel = 3.86232*(3.8/2) = 7.34 kNm/m
Additional moment due to ecc. of Wall = 1.24 kNm/m
Total moment at base = 8.58 kNm/m
7.0 CHECK FOR OVERTURNING
Total Overturning Moment = 8.58 kNm/m
Restoring Moment = 0.9*P*(width of foundation/2) = 0.12 kNm/m considering 90% of DL
FOS(overturning) = Restoring Moment/Overturning Moment = 0.01 < 1.4, Not OK
