Wind Load Calculation as per Canadian Code | NBCC 2020 |
To calculate wind load as per the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) 2020, the following steps summarize the process: 1. Reference Code and Formula Wind load calculation is governed by NBC 2020, specifically the provisions in Part 4, Section 4.1.7 (Wind Loads). The wind pressure (q) is calculated using: q=Iwâ‹…Ceâ‹…Cgâ‹…Cpâ‹…p Where: Iw​: Importance factor… Read more
Wind Load Calculation for Pipe Rack
To calculate wind load on Pipe racks, open structures, cable trays and pipes as per ASCE 7-10, use the following approach, accounting for the cylindrical shape and exposure to wind. For wind load calculations in metric units as per ASCE 7-10, the primary difference lies in the units for wind speed and pressure. Here’s how to calculate wind… Read more
DESIGN OF WIND PRESSURE AS PER EN 1991-1-4
The calculation for wind load as per EN 1991-1-4 for a gas plant located in a terrain category I includes parameters such as a fundamental basic wind velocity of 32.30 m/s, a directional factor and season factor of 1.00 each, and various terrain factors and roughness lengths. Wind turbulence intensity and peak velocity pressure vary… Read more
