GUIDE TO WIND LOAD CALCULATIONS

BASED ON NSCP 2015

By: Engr. Muhammadnur B. Muhammad

Sample Problem:
Shown is a proposed building in a certain University 13mx15.7m in horizontal dimensions. It is
required to calculate the wind loading on the roof truss using NSCP 2015.

Solution:
The general procedure for buildings of all heights is shown in Table 207B.2-1.
P116
STEP 1. The building is a school building, therefore based on Table 103-1, it is Category I

P19-20

STEP 2. From Figure 207A.5-C, wind velocity V = 260km/h = 72.22m/s


STEP 3.
3.1 From Table 207A.6-1, wind directionality factor Kd = 0.85
P95
3.2 The site is considered Exposure C
P95
3.3 Kzt = 1.0 for flat terrain
P100
3.5 Gust effect factor G = 0.85

P109
3.6 Internal pressure coefficient G = 0.85 for rigid building

P114
Step 4 Velocity pressure coefficient Kh

Exposure C
z Kz
21 1.17
18.2
18 1.13
16.7
15 1.09
12 1.04
9 0.98
7.5 0.94
6 0.9
0-4.5 0.85
P121
STEP 5. Velocity pressure
P158
STEP 6. External pressure coefficient

6.1 Windward (negative pressure --- suction)


h/L 20 25
0.5 -0.4 -0.3
1.4 -0.43 Cp = - 0.32 -0.32
10 -0.7 -0.5
*interpolated values are in red
6.2 Winward (positive pressure)
h/L 20 25
0.5 0 0.2
1.4 -0.02 Cp = 0.17 0.18
10 -0.18 0
*interpolated values are in red
P126-127
6.3 Leeward
Cp = -0.60
7. Design wind pressure

STEP 7. Wind pressure on top chord
