WIND DATA

For K2 Refer Table 2 of IS:875-3

Category 1 No obstructions available to the building ex : Sea
coasts and flat tree less Plains where other structure if
:
any have heights less than 1.5 m

Category 2 : Open terrain with well scattered obstructions of 1.5 m to 10 m height

Category 3 : Refer to area of closely spaced buildings of heights upto 10 m
Category 4 : Refer to area with highly closed buildings of large heights

Factor K2 also depends on the dimensions of the building under consideration.

The structures are classified as

Class A : max l,b,h : <20 m

Class B : max l,b,h : 20 to 50 m
Class C : max l,b,h : > 20 m

For K3 Wind motion depends on topography of the area

if upward wind slope Theta <=3 : K3=1 Refer code

Theta > 3 : K3=1.0 to 1.36

Step 1 : Design Wind Speed (Vz) :

Vz = Vb X K1 X K2 X K3
Where Vb = Basic Wind Speed
K1 = Risk Coefficient
K2 = Terrain height and structure size factor
K3 = Topography Factor

Step 2 : Design Wind Pressure pz' (6.2.1)

The Design wind pressure at any height above mean Ground level shall be obtained by the

pz = 0.6 Vz2

Where pz = Design wind Pressure in N/m2 at height Z

Vz = Design wind speed in m/sec

Wind Loads on Buildings :

Wind Load : Net pressure acting on the surface and the surface area.

Net Pressure : Algebraic sum of external and internal wind pressure acting on the surface.

external pressure coefficient,depends on the dimensions,roof angels and

Cpe : shape of the building.

Cpi : internal pressure or internal suction.

F= (Cpe-Cpi)A X pd

Where Cpe : External presure Coefficient

Cpi : Internal pressure Co-efficient
A : Surface area of the structural element or cladding unit
pd : Design Wind Pressure.

Note :
For Symmetrical Buildings : Wind Loads are calculated in X & Y Directions.

It may be necessary to investigate the

forces due to wind from all directions.
For Unsymmetrical Buildings :

2 Fundamental Natural Period

The approximate fundamental natural period of vibration (T, ), in seconds, of a moment-resisting frame building
without brick in fill panels may be estimated by the empirical expression:

for RC frame building = Ta = 0.075 h0.75

for steel frame building = Ta = 0.085 h0.75

h = Height of building, in m. This excludes the basement storeys, where basement walls are connected with the
ground floor deck or fitted between the building columns. But it includes the basement storeys, when they are not
so connected.

The approximate fundamental natural period of vibration (Ta, ), in seconds, of all other buildings, including
moment-resisting fimne buildings with brick infil panels, may be estimated by the empirical expression:

Ta = 0.09/Sqrt(d)
d = Base dimension of the building at the plinth level, in m, along the considered direction of the lateral force.

Dynamic Analysis
Regular buildings — a) Those
greater than 40 m in height in Zones IV and ~ and those greater than 90 m in height in Zones II and III.
Modelling as per 7.8.4.5 can be used.
3 b) irregular buildings ( as defined in 7.1 ) — All framed buildings higher than12m in Zones IV and V~and
those greater than 40m in height in Zones II and III.

4 Damping
 7.8.2.1 The value of damping for buildings may be takenas 2 and 5 percent of the critical, for the purposes of
dynamic analysis of steel and reinforced concrete buildings, respectively.

7.3.1 For various loading classes as specified in IS 875( Part 2 ), the earthquake force shall be calculatcxl
for the full dead load plus the percentage of imposed load as given in Table 8.
7.3.2 For calculating the design seismic forces of the structure, the imposed load on roof need not be
considered. 7.3.3
The percentage of imposed loads given in 7.3.1 and 7.3.2 shall also be used for ‘Whole frame loaded’
5 condition in the load combinations specified in 6.3. 1.1 AND and 6.3.1.2 where the gravity loads are combined with
the earthquake loads [ that is, in load combinations (3) in 6.3.1.1, and (2) in 6.3.1.2 ]. No further reduction
in the imposed load will be used as envisaged in IS 875( Part 2 ) for number of storeys above the one
under consideration or for large spans of beams or floors.

6.3.1.2 Partial safety factors for limit state design of reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete
structures In the limit state design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures, the following load
combinations shall be accounted for:
1) 1.5( DL+lL)
6 2) 1.2( DL+ZL+EL)
3) 1.5( DL+EL)
4) 0.9DL* 1.5EL

Ductile detailing is a must for structures in Zone IV & V. However it should also be followed in zone III, when
Importance factor is > 1.0 OR Structure is > 5.0 Storey high OR the structure is industrial in nature.

Part 1 (2002) for building structures

Part 4 (2005) for industrial and stack-like structures are available

Methodology
The design base shear is computed by STAAD for building structures as per IS: 1893 (Part 1) 2002 equa
V = Ah.W
Where:
Ah =

When site specific spectra is used per IS 1893 (Part 4) 2005, then:

Ah =

For stack-like structures, the design base shear is computed as per IS 1893 (Part 4) 2005 as:

V = CvAh.W·Dv

All symbols and notations in the above equation are as per IS: 1893(Part 1) 2002 and IS: 1893 (Part 4) 2

v1, v2, v3 = Used when specifying a uniformly distributed load with a value of v 1 starting at a distance
of v2 from the start of the member and ending at a distance of v 3 from the start of the member. If
v2and v 3 are omitted, the load is assumed to cover the entire length of the member.

v4, v5 = Used when specifying a concentrated force with a value of v 4 applied at a distance of v5 from
the start of the member. If v5 is omitted, the load is assumed to act at the center of the member.

The ACC option along with accidental eccentricity factor (generally 0.05 as per IS 1893 code) needs
to be provided in the 1893 seismic primary load case (i.e., 1893 LOAD X / Z f1 ACC f3 ). f2 can be
negative

To consider horizontal torsion in cases where a floor diaphragm is present in the model, the
ACCIDENTAL option should not be specified. Instead, dynamic eccentricity along with accidental
eccentricity should be provided in the 1893 seismic primary load case (i.e.,
1893 LOAD X / Z f1 DEC f2 ACC f3).
For equivalent seismic analysis, f2
is 1.5 and f3 is 0.05 as per IS 1893 code. f1 is
always positive or zero, however f2 can be negative.
If f2 is 0.0, only accidental torsion will be considered for this particular load case.
 By default STAAD calculates natural periods of the structure in both X and Z directions respectively
which are used in calculation for base shear. If PX and PZ are included, the program will consider
these values for calculation of average response acceleration coefficient. If ST is used instead of PX
and PZ values, then the program will calculate natural period depending upon the empirical
expression given in IS: 1893 (Part 1)-2002 or IS: 1893 (Part 4)-2005.
