Wind Load Calculation

This document provides calculations for wind load on a bridge with a span of 80m, height of 13m, and located in plain terrain. It determines the basic wind speed of 44m/s and average wind pressure of 876.41 N/m2. It then calculates the transverse, longitudinal, and vertical wind loads based on drag coefficient, lift coefficient, plan area, and wind pressure. The transverse and longitudinal wind loads are 0 kN while the vertical wind load is 509 kN.

Average Wind Pressure (Pz) as per note no. 4 & 5 under table 4 of IRC: 6

= 876.41 (N/m²)
= 876.41 (N/m²)

Gust Factor (G) for spans upto 150 m = 2.00


Drag Coefficient (Cd) Depend on b/d ratio = 0.000 x 1.5 = 0.00
(b = width & d = exposed depth)

Exposed area of Superstructure, A1 = 0.000 x 0.0 = 0.0


Plan area of Superstructure, A2 = Err:509 x 0.0 = Err:509
Lift Coefficient (CL) = 0.75

Transverse Wind Load ( FT) = Pz x A1 x G x Cd = 0.0

Longitudinal Wind Load ( FL) = 0.0 x 0.25 = 0.0


(25% of Transverse Force)
Vertical Wind Load ( FV) = Pz x A2 x G x CL = Err:509
