Wind pressure on surfaces EN 1991-1-4 7.2(pressure coefficients for internal frame)

A positive wind load stands for pressure whereas a negative wind load indicates suction on the surface. This definition applies for the external wind action as well as for the internal wind action.

External pressure coefficients The wind pressure acting on the external surfaces, we should be obtained from

the following expression: EN 1991-1-4 we = qp(ze) cpe 5.2 eq. 5.1 where: ze is the reference height for the external pressure cpe is the pressure coefficient for the external pressure

depending on the size of the loaded area A. = cpe,10 because the loaded area A for the structure is larger than 10 m

CALCULATION SHEET


The internal pressure coefficient depends on the size and distribution of the openings in the building envelope.

Within this example it is not possible to estimate the permeability and opening ratio of the building. So cpi should be taken as the more onerous of + 0,2 and 0,3. In this case cpi is unfavorable when cpi is taken to + 0,2.

EN 1991-1-4 7.2.9 (6) Note 2

Wind loads The wind loadings per unit length w (in kN/m) for an internal frame are calculated using the influence width (spacing) s = 7,20 m:

w = (cpe + cpi) qp s Internal and external pressures are considered to act at the same time. The worst combination of external and internal pressures are to be considered for every combination of possible openings and other leakage paths.

EN 1991-1-4 7.2.9

Characteristic values for wind loading in [kN/m] for an internal frame:

- zones D, E, G, H, I and J

2 Snow loads General Snow loads on the roof should be determined as follows: EN 1991-1-3 s = i ce cz sk 5.2.2 eq.5.1

where: i is the roof shape coefficient ce is the exposure coefficient, usually taken as 1,0 ct is the thermal coefficient, set to 1,0 for normal situations sk is the characteristic value of ground snow load for the

relevant altitude

Roof shape coefficient Shape coefficients are needed for an adjustment of the ground snow load to a

snow load on the roof taking into account effects caused by non-drifted and drifted snow load arrangements.

EN 1991-1-3 The roof shape coefficient depends on the roof angle. 5.3 Table 5.1 300 1 = 0,8

Snow load on the ground The characteristic value depends on the climatic region.

For a site in Aachen (Germany) the following expression is relevant:
