SCI P286 Guide to Evaluating Design Wind Loading to BS6399-2

Size: 1.30 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Unspecified | Publisher: The Steel Construction Institute | Year: 1997 | pages: 99 | ISBN: 1859421342

This publication presents guidance on the use of the design procedures given in BS 6399-2:1997, Loading for buildings. Code of practice for wind loads, to calculate the wind loads on buildings, using methods that are suitable for hand calculations. These procedures include the Standard Method and Hybrid Method, which are presented in the Code. Two new design methods are introduced in this publication, called the Simplified Standard Method and the Simplified Hybrid Method.

As the names suggest these methods are simplified versions of the methods given in the Code. The purpose of
introducing the additional methods is to present a ‘back-of-the-envelope’ method (the Simplified Standard Method) and a method that is considered to be a suitable balance
between calculation effort and economical design (the Simplified Hybrid Method).

The publication presents a concise step-by-step procedure for all the design methods that are suitable for hand calculation. Detailed explanation is provided for each calculation step. Guidance is also presented on the use of pressure coefficients, and the treatment of dominant openings, overall loads and asymmetric loads. The guidance aims to produce economical design while ensuring the design effort is kept to a minimum. Design examples are presented to show the use of the Standard, Simplified Standard and
Simplified Hybrid methods.

Throughout this publication, constant reference is made to the clauses and figures in the Code. This publication is not intended to be a ‘stand-alone document’ and designers will
need to use it alongside the Code, BS 6399-2:1997.
