Gathering the wind load on a building or structure is not a complicated task, and to further simplify it was designed by the wind load calculator.
Here you can calculate the main component of high wind loads on buildings and structures such as:
a.) rectangular building
b.) gable roof
a.) a fence, a wall, and the like
Operating procedure:
1. Select on a building / structure you want to build a wind load (in the rectangular building, gable roof, wall, fence)
2. When selecting a rectangular building or a pitched roof is necessary to set the direction of the wind. For the convenience of the wall signed by the letters "A" and "B".
3. Set the main dimensions of buildings / structures (length, width, height)
4. Select wind area
5. Select the type of terrain
6. Press the "Calculate"
All the received values the wind load for each individual portion will be summarized in the table below.
All resulting distance will be highlighted in blue.
For reference:
- a safety factor for the wind load - 1.4
- if the dimensions b1, b2, b3, d1, d2 beyond the dimensions of your buildings / structures (b or d) - consider that portion of the load will continue till the end of the building / construction, and the next section will not. That is, if the calculation of the rectangular building of the wall A b2 size you have gone beyond b, then areas №5, 8 and 11 will go to the end of the building and land №6, 9 and 12 will not
- if the positive load, then the wind load is applied to buildings / structures, if negative - from the building / construction
