WIND LOAD ANALYSIS

Considering the structure is an enclose building located in Polomolok, South Cotabato:

30˚

6.4m h=7.84m

10m

1. Occupancy Category of the Building

The building is determined to be categorized as IV Standard Occupancy as per

Section 103, NSCP 2015 7th Edition.

2. Basic Wind Speed

Considering the location of the building is in Polomolok, South Cotabato, the
basic wind speed V is determined to be:
V=290 kph = 80.56 m/s
as per Section 207A.5.1, NSCP 2015, 7th Edition illustrated in Figure 207A.5-1A

3. Wind Load Parameters

a. Wind Directionality Factor
Considering the structure is a building, under MWFRS

𝐾𝒅 = 𝟎. 𝟖𝟓

as per Section 207A.6 referring to Table 207A.6-1 (NSCP 2015 7th

Edition)

b. Exposure Category
Considering that the structure location is in Polomolok, South Cotabato,
its ground surface roughness is determined to be categorized as Surface
Roughness B: Urban and Suburban Areas, wooded areas, or other terrain
with numerous closely spaced obstructions having the size of single-family
dwellings or larger (Section 207A.7.2)
Moreover, exposure category is determined to be Exposure B as per
Section 2017A.7.3.

c. Topographic Factor

𝐾𝑧𝑡 = 1.0

since site conditions and locations of structures do not meet all the
conditions specified in Section 207A.8.1

d. Gust Effect Factor

G = 0.85

since the structure is considered rigid (Section 2017 A.9.1).

The structure is determined to be rigid since it is considered a low-

rise building (Section 207A.9.2, NSCP 2015 7th Edition). Moreover, the
structure is considered low-rise building since it comply the conditions
specify in Section 207A.2.
 e. Enclosure Classification

The structure is classified as enclose since the structure comply the

conditions in Section 207A.2, NSCP 2015 7th Edition.

f. Internal Pressure Coefficient

𝐺𝐶𝑝𝑖 = ±0.18
for enclosed buildings (MWFRS) referred in Table 207A.11-1

4. Velocity Pressure Exposure Coefficient 𝑲𝒉 and 𝑲𝒛

Referring to Table 207B.3-1, NSCP 2015 7th Edition

For 0 ≤ z ≤ 4.5, 𝐾𝑧 = 0.57

For 4.5 ≤ z ≤ 6.0 𝐾𝑧 = 0.62
