1. Background
Wind represents masses of air moving mainly horizontally (parallel to the
ground) from areas of high pressure to ones of low pressure.
Wind generates pressures on external (and also internal) surfaces of
structures
The main effect of wind is a horizontal loading of buildings (especially
high-rise). This effect of the wind on the structure (i.e. the response of
the structure), depends on the size, shape and dynamic properties of
the structure
4. CEH7422; TOPIC 1-WIND LOAD CALCULATION
1. Background
When the wind enters the building from the windward side and leeward
side is relative closed, internal pressure is developed that acts like
negative pressure
Similarly, when high speed wind passes by a building, it produces a
vacuum on the leeward side, this vacuum results in internal suction
producing negative pressure from the structure
Keeping the movements in the upper levels of the building to acceptable
human tolerances is the goal of the structural engineer.

7. 3. Definitions
Design strength -characteristic strength divided by material strength
coefficient
Material coefficient- partial coefficient of material (the coefficient
takes account of the unpredictable variations of the properties, inaccuracy
of calculation models, geometrical data etc.)
Limit state - a particular state which a structure or a component has
attained due to loads acting on it when it is at the point of no longer fulfilling
the particular requirement it was designed for.
CEH7422; TOPIC 1-WIND LOAD CALCULATION
8. 3. Definitions
Ultimate limit state- is the state corresponds to the requirement
governing structurally safety against complete collapse due to excessive
loading
Serviceability limit state- the serviceability limit state corresponds to
requirements governing normal use and durability state.
basic wind speed the hourly mean wind speed with an annual probability
risk of being exceeded of 0.02, irrespective of wind direction, at a height of
10 m over completely flat terrain at sea level that would occur if the
roughness of the terrain was uniform everywhere
site wind speed the basic wind speed modified to account for the altitude
of the site and the direction of the wind being considered
CEH7422; TOPIC 1-WIND LOAD CALCULATION
9. 3. Definitions
effective wind speed the site wind speed modified to a gust speed by
taking account of the effective height, size of the building
Gusts are variations in the local winds, which are of a smaller character
dynamic pressure the potential pressure available from the kinetic energy
of the effective wind speed
pressure coefficient the ratio of the pressure acting on a surface to
the dynamic pressure
external pressure the pressure acting on an external surface of a building
caused by the direct action of the wind
CEH7422; TOPIC 1-WIND LOAD CALCULATION
10. 3. Definitions
internal pressure the pressure acting on an internal surface of a building
caused by the action of the external pressures through porosity and
openings in the external surfaces of the building
net pressure the pressure difference between opposite faces of a surface
building height the height of a building or part of a building above its base
reference height the reference height for a part of a structure is the datum
height above ground for the pressure coefficients and is defined with the
pressure coefficients for that part
obstruction height the average height above ground of buildings,
structures or other permanent obstructions to the wind immediately upwind
of the site
CEH7422; TOPIC 1-WIND LOAD CALCULATION
11. 3. Definitions
effective height the height used in the calculations of the effective wind
speed determined from the reference height with allowance for the
obstruction height
building length the longer horizontal dimension of a building or part of a
building
building width the shorter horizontal dimension of a building or part of a
building or structural element being considered and of permanent
obstructions upwind

up country)
Lake regions (Lake Nyasa, Lake Tanganyika, Lake Victoria, from the
shores to approximately 50 km up country
Mountain and other areas where experience shows that particularly strong
winds

13. 5. DESIGN PROCEDURE– reynolds’ table 13
& 14
STEP 1: DETERMINATION OF SITE BASIC SPEED (Vb )
Refer to definition part of this presentation , the determination of basic wind
speed; Vb is from annual wind studies at a particular place as related to
probability of wind speed occurrence
STEP 2: DETERMINATION OF DESIGN WIND SPEED
Vs = Vb x S1 x S2 x S3
Whereby, Vb – Basic wind speed , S1 – Multiplier related to topology
S2 – multiplier related to height above ground and wind
breaking,
S3 – multiplying factor related to life of structure

14. CEH7422; TOPIC 1-WIND LOAD CALCULATION
5. DESIGN PROCEDURE–STANDARD
METHOD
Values of S1 may generally always be taken as unity
except in the following cases: On sites adversely affected
by very exposed hill slopes and crests where wind
acceleration is known to occur: S1 = 1.1, On sites in
enclosed steep-sided valleys completely sheltered from
winds: S1 = 0.9
Values of S3 is a probability factor relating the likelihood
of the design wind speed being exceeded to the probable
life of the structure. A value of unity is recommended for
general use and corresponds to an excessive speed
occurring once in fifty years.

METHOD
Generally, BRU Guidelines no. 2, highlighted the design
wind speed in Tanzania, which depend on the wind
areas such as:
o In Light wind areas
Vs = (35/3)*(log (h)+ 2)
o In strong wind area
Vs = (45/3)*(log (h)+ 2)
