Calculation of Solidity Ratio & Sheilding Factor H For Multiple Frames
Calculation of Solidity Ratio & Sheilding Factor H For Multiple Frames
The solidity ratio of the frame also affects the value of C f. The solidity ratio implies the ratio of net exposed area of
the frame members divided by the gross area bound by these members (Φ)
Multiple frame buildings - This section applies to structures having two or more parallel frames where the
windward frames may have a shielding effect upon theframes to leeward side. The windward frame and any
unshielded parts of other frames shall be calculated in accordance with 6.3.3.2, but the wind load on the parts of
frames that are sheltered should be multiplied by a shielding factor which is dependent upon the solidity ratio of the
windward frame, the types of members comprising the frame and the spacing ratio of the frames.
Where there are more than two frames of similar geometry and spacing, the wind load on the third and subsequent
frames should be taken as equal to that on the second frame. The loads on the various frames shall be added to
obtain total load on the structure.
a) The frame spacing ratio is equal to the distance, centre to centre of the frames, beams or girders divided by the
least overall dimension of the frame, beam or girder measured at right angles to the direction of the wind.
