G. WIND LOAD CALCULATION (SIDEWAYS)
CALCULATE PEAK VELOCITY PRESSURE
Topographic Factor, Twind = 1 Seasonal Factor, Cseason = 1
Wind Speed = 24 m/s Probability Factor, Cprob = 0.83
Scaffold Effective, Z = 9 m Basic Wind Velocity, Vb = 20.29 m/s
Site Altitude, A = 15 m Basic Velocity Pressure, Qb = 0.25
Site Altitude Factor, Calt = 1.02 Closest Distance to Sea (km) = 5
Basic Wind Velocity on Map, Vb map = 24 10 m gust(m/s) Site Exposure Factor, Ce(z).Ce,t = 1.40
Site Wind Factor, Swind = 1.00 Aerodynamic Force Coefficient, Cf = 1.80
CALCULATE MEAN WIND VELOCITY
Vb = Vbmap x Calt x Cseason x Cprob x Swind Calt = 1 + Site Altitude qb = 0.613 x Vb2 / 1000
Vb = 20.29 m/s 800 qb = 0.25 kN/m2
Calt = 1 + 15
qp = Peak Velocity Pressure (kN / m2) 800
qp = qb x site exposure factor Calt = 1.02
qp = 0.25 x 1.40
qp = 0.35 kN/m

Total Area, AT = Tribut Width x Height
Total Wind force on Scaffolding Total Area, AT = 2.07 m x 8.25 m
2
Ft = Cs x Cf x A x qp Total Area, AT = 17.08 m
Ft = 1 x 1.0 x 17.08x 0.34
Ft = 10.86 kN

Tributart Width Considered =2.07 m
STABILITY CHECK
Overturn Distance =2.12 m
OVERTURNING MOMENT = (Wind load x Mean Height)
= (10.86 kN x 2.12m)
= 23.02 kN-m x 1.5 *FOS = 34.5348 KN-m
RESTORING MOMENT = (selfweight@Tribut Area x 5.2/2)
= (8.0kN x 2.12m)
= 16.96 kN-m
Counter Weigth required = (OM-RM) = 17.57 kN-m
Overturn Distance 1.036
= 16.96 ~ 500 kg /Bay Or 2000 kg total
