Select Type
|
Choose the method of specifying wind pressure values from the
drop-down:
- Custom – ASCE 7 or
other user-specified wind pressures
Setting | Description |
---|
Intensity vs. Height table
|
Enter pairs of data for wind pressure at a given height
(in the current units).
Int cells –
wind intensities (pressures) in force/area. Up to
100 different intensities can be defined in the input file per type.
Height cells –
corresponding heights in global vertical direction,
measured in terms of actual Y (or Z for Z UP ) coordinates up to which the
corresponding intensities occur.
|
Calculate as per ASCE 7
|
Opens the ASCE-7 Wind Load dialog, which is used to
generate a wind load per the ASCE 7 specification. Input data on the type of
structure, surrounding terrain, and wind.

- SNiP 2.01.07-85 or SP
20.13330.2016 – Russian wind load parameters
Setting | Description |
---|
Pressure |
the characteristic value of wind pressure, always
positive
|
Terrain |
terrain roughness category:
- Coastal Zone.
- Urban Zone.
- Large City.
|
Region |
Wind region as per clause 11.5 of SNiP 2.01.07-85*
2016. This is used to determine the wind pressure in determine the dynamic wind
component.
|
Delta |
logarithmic decrement of
oscillations, Delta (see table 11.5 - Section 11.1.8 for the definition).
Typically values are:
- 0.15 for steel towers, masts, lined
chimneys, column means including the ones on the reinforced concrete pedestals
- 0.3 for reinforced concrete and stone
structures as well as for buildings with steel framework if there are walling
structures
