F = (Cpe - Cpi) X A X Pz
Cpe & Cpi = Force coefficient for exterior & interrior of building. (Ref: Table B7 and Table B9 ;( " BOOK = Design of steel structure, second edition, LS Negi", pg:309 & 311)
A = Effective area of the structure.
Pz = Design wind pressure.= 0.6Vz^2
Where,
Design wind speed , Vz = Vb x K1 x K2 x K3
Accroading to the IS:875(part3);
