Question
The dimensions of a 9-m-high warehouse are
shown in Figure P2.12. The windward and leeward wind
pressure profiles in the long direction of the warehouse
are also shown. Establish the wind forces based on the
following information: basic wind speed = 40 m/s, wind
exposure category = C, Kd = 0.85, Kzt = 1.0, G = 0.85,
and Cp = 0.8 for windward wall and −0.2 for leeward
wall. Use the Kz values listed in Table 2.4. What is the
total wind force acting in the long direction of the
warehouse?
