3.0 Wind Loads
The design wind pressures for elements of the structure are determined by the
applicable velocity pressure, considering the correction coefficient for height, and
multiplied by the applicable pressure coefficient as given by NSCP. Considering the
basic wind speed of 250 kph and for exposure C, the design wind pressure shall be
determined in accordance with the following formula:
p = qGCp – qi(GCpi)
where:
p = Design wind pressure
q = Velocity pressure
= 0.613KzKztKdV^2
Kz = Velocity pressure exposure coefficient
Kzt = Topographic factor; 1.00
Kd = Wind directionality factor; 0.85
V = Design wind velocity (in m/s)
G = Gust effect factor; 0.85

Cp = External pressure coefficient
qi = Internal pressure
GCpi = Internal pressure coefficient
4.0 Earthquake Forces
4.1 Static Force Procedure
The design base shear shall be computed as:
V = Cv I W
RT

strength & global ductility capacity
T = Elastic fundamental period of the structure in the
` direction under consideration

Where the value of T from method B shall not be over 30 percent greater
than the value of T obtained from method A in Seismic Zone 4 and 40
percent in Seismic Zone 2.
The total force shall be distributed over the height of the building in
conformance with the following:
Fx = [(V-Ft)wxhx] / Σ (wihi)
Where:
Ft = 0.07 TV < 0.25v
Note: Ft may be considered zero if T is less than or equal to 0.70 sec.
and
V = Ft + Σ Fi
hi, hn, hx = height of the structure in meters above the base level to level i,
n or x.
wi = Portion of W which is located at or assigned to level I
g = Acceleration due to gravity
Fi = Lateral force applied to level I
W = Total dead load
The design storey shear in any storey shall be distributed to the various elements
of the lateral force-resisting system in proportion to their rigidities assuming that
the lateral force acts at the center of mass and center of rigidity.
