LATERAL FORCES

WIND FORCES

P&A 565-569

Nature of Wind:
============
        high wind
        turbulent wind
                open area
                down-town (high-rise) construction

Wind Flow:
=========
        stagnation point
                at 60 - 70% of building height
                wind splits into 
                        upper
                        lower
                        left
                        right
        separation flow
                the flow separated from the building corners
                is faster than other airflows nearby

        descending flow
                fast wind high above is
                drawn to the ground level
                to low pressure regions produced behind buildings

        vortex flow
                part of the wind sweeps down to the ground 
                and produces a reverse flow
                the velocity of vortex flow is higher if there are
                low buildings in front of a tall building

        Monroe Effect 
                turbulence and up-lift created by
                high-rise construction
                
Major Problems caused by Wind:
=========================
        Buildings
                difficulty opening and closing doors
                imperfect ventilation
                drafts
                roof tiles blown away
                secondary hazards of flying objects
                broken windows
                unpleasant whistling sound
                rain blown into buildings
                dust raised
                building collapse
        People
                hair disarranged
                clothing disordered
                dificulty in walking
                umbrellas break
        Trafic
                momentary loss of control
                bicyclists fall over
Prediction of Wind Environment:
=========================
                velocity and amplification ratios around various shape
 
                
Basic Wind Speed (Velocity)
======================
                OKC is between the 70 mph and 80 mph zone
                interpolate between 70 and 80
                80 - 70 = 10
                10 / 2  = 5
                70 + 5 = 75 
                75 Mph Oklahoma
                70 Mph accepted by most code
                officials in southern part of Oklahoma
Exposure:
========
        A, B, C, D

        A = high-rise structures use wind tunnel test   
        B = irregularities 20 ft or more in height 1 mile 
                surrounding site Urban and suburban areas
        C = open terrain with scattered obstructions less than 
                30 ft open country and grasslands

        D = Coastal areas
        see special regulations

UBC Code:
========
Wind Stagnation Pressure (qs)
        qs = 0.00256 (V*V)

        Example: 100 mph
        qs = 0.00256 (100*100)
        qs = 0.00256 (10,000)
        qs = 25.6 psf
        qs = 26 psf rounded
        
Design Wind Pressure (p)
        p = Ce x Cq x qs x I
        Ce = combined height, exposure and gust factor coefficient UBC 23-G
        Cq = pressure coefficient for the structure or portion of structure under                                               consideration UBC 23-H 
        qs = wind stagnation pressure
                at 30 ft given in UBC Table 23-F
        I = Importance Factor

                                
BOCA:
======
        Pd = Pe x I x I x Cp
        
Pd = Design pressure

Pe = effective velocity pressure

Design Methods:
============
        Method 1 = Normal Force Method

        = restoring moment
        = stabilizing moment 
        overturning moment =  dead load resisting moment  x 1.5
        if not fullfilled 
                        provide anchorage to prevent overturning
       
        entire structure turns over     
                        tall and slender buildings = critical
        
        individual elements may turn over                       
                        shear walls
                        trusses         
                        frames
Drift:
====
         = horizontal deflection of the structure due to lateral loads
        max. story drift = 0.005 x story height
        for masonry construction        
        max. story drift = 0.0025 x story height        
        affects
                curtain walls
                interior partitions
