What you’ll learn:
Basics and general concepts of wind load on structures
Regional wind speed for different areas of the country
Terrain/height multiplier and explaining the definition of different train categories
Defining Importance level of the building and return period of the wind considering the occupancy and use of the building
Wind direction multiplier / Hill-shape multiplier/ Shielding multiplier
Site wind speed for eight cardinal directions / Design wind speed for the four major directions of the structure
Aerodynamic shape factor for different surfaces or parts of the building
Design wind pressure on structural elements of the walls and roof for different portal frames of this warehouse for the 4 major directions of the structure
Frictional Drag on Roof and Side Walls
Requirements:
N/A – Whole process has been explained in a very basic level
Description:
In this course, I will explain the full and detailed process of calculating the design wind pressures for structural members and cladding surfaces of the walls and roof of a steel-framed warehouse.
The assessment of wind loads for the design of structures is based on Australia/New Zealand standard AS1170.2 however the general concept remains the same for every other code.
AS1170 has a very detailed and comprehensive process for calculating wind pressures.
There are so many parameters and requirements in the code which often leaves people with some confusion and question marks on how to approach these. so I have decided to prepare this course to provide a clear roadmap for anyone who wants to learn the process step by step.
This course, “Design Wind Pressures on a Steel Structure Warehouse” includes two parts:
Please make sure to watch both parts to learn the whole design process
