Wind Load Calculation for Bridges

The document outlines the calculation of wind load for a bridge with a basic wind speed of 36 m/s, detailing the parameters used such as vertical wind force, hourly mean wind pressure, and gust factor. It also includes sample calculations for plate element results, including various forces and moments acting on the structure. The calculations demonstrate the effects of wind load on live load and the resulting forces on the bridge components.

1 Wind Load Calculation for wind speed 36 m/s and Wind Load on Live Load

Bridge Location = Terrain with Obstruction

Basic wind speed at bridge location


Basic wind speed at bridge location with Live Load
Factor applied for the hourly mean speed of wind

Factor applied for the horizontal wind pressure

Design wind force on superstructure :


Vertical Wind Force :

Vertical Wind Force (FV) = Pz x A3 x G x CL


Where,
Pz = Hourly mean wind pressure in N/m²

Now, Height of the superstructure =

A3 = 962 m2
G = Gust Factor (As per Cl. 209.3.3 , IRC : 6, 2017 )
= 2.00
CL = Lift Co-efficient (As per Cl. 209.3.3 , IRC : 6, 2017 )
= 0.75 for normal type of slab, box, I girder and

Hence, Vertical Wind Force (FV) = Pz x A3 x G x CL


= 427.4
= 616678.6
= 616.679

17 SAMPLE CALCULATIONS FOR PLATE ELEMENT RESULTS

From staad file

2802 104 584.13 -4.11 -1002.621

MY kNm/m MXY kNm/m SX kN/m2 SY kN/m2 SXY kN/m2

-163.574 -5.189 -320.6 -51.67 2.12

Clark's forces
thickness of wall = 0.996 m

Nxx(t/m) = Sx x thkness of front wall


= -320.6 x 0.996
= -319.3176 kn/m

Similarly Nyy = Sy x thkness of front wall


= -51.46 kn/m

Similarly Nxy = Sxy x thkness of front wall


= 2.11 kn/m

Mxx = MX kNm/m
= -1002.621 kn-m/m

Similarly Myy = -163.57 kn-m/m


Mxy = -5.19 kn-m/m

Generally

Nx* = Nx + ABS(Nxy)

Ny* = Ny + ABS(Nxy)

Nx star1 = Nxx + ABS(Nxy)


= -317.2

Similarly Ny star1 = -49.35

Generally
Mx* = Mx + ABS(Mxy)

My* = My + ABS(Mxy)

At top
Mxstar1 = Mxx + ABS(Mxy)
-1002.6 + -5.19
= -997.4

Similarly Mystar1 = -158.39

At bottom
Mx star2 = Mxx - ABS(Mxy)
= -1002.621 - -5.19
= -1007.81

Similarly My star2 = -168.76

If Nx*<0
Nx* = 0

Ny* = Ny + ABS(Nxy^2/Nx)

Fc = Nx + (Nxy^2/Nx)

If Ny*<0

Ny* = 0

Nx* = Nx + ABS(Nxy^2/Ny)

Fc = Ny + (Nxy^2/Ny)
= -319.331563

Therefore Nx* = 0.00

Ny* = 0.00

Fc = -319.331563
If Mx*<0
Mx* = 0

My* = My + ABS(Mxy^2/Mx)

If My*<0

My* = 0
Mx* = Mx + ABS(Mxy^2/My)

Therefore

Mx* top = 0.00

My* top 0.00

Mx* bottom -1007.81

My* bottom -168.76
