calculate the total force against the window when the tank is full

One of the important aspects of Wind Analysis is the velocity pressure. Each procedure has two categories: wind for the main wind force-resisting system (MWFRS) and wind for component and claddings (C&C).

The analytical procedure is for all buildings and non-building structures. The simplified procedure is for building with a simple diaphragm, roof slope less than 10 degrees, mean roof height less than 30 feet (9 meters), regular shape rigid building, no expansion joints, flat terrain and not subjected to special wind condition. ASCE 7-16 set a standard in calculating wind procedure.ĪSCE 7-16 provides two methods for wind load calculation: a simplified procedure and an analytical procedure. In a high or a tall structure, the load due to wind governs and wind loads should not be taken for granted. This deflections depends on velocity of the wind.

A deflections perpendicular to the wind may occur to the building when a wind is passing through.

In Structural Design, the pressure exerted by the wind is the most important thing to be considered.
