The formula for wind load is F = A x P x Cd x Kz x Gh, where A is the projected area, P is wind pressure, Cd is the drag coefficient, Kz is the exposure coefficient, and Gh is the gust response factor. This formula takes a few more parameters into account for wind load.
What is wind force coefficient?
The wind force and moment coefficients are defined as follows:(1a–1g) C N W = N W q H ( b * l / 2 ) , C N L = N L q H ( b * l / 2 ) , C L = L q H ( bl ) , C N = N q H ( b * l ) , C M x = M x q H ( b l 2 ) , C M y = M y q H ( b * 2 l ) , C M z = M z q H ( b l 2 ) , where Mx, My and Mz are moments about the x-, y- and z ...
What is PSF wind load?
Wind Speed Conversion (MPH)
These values are calculated from the Ensewiler Formula, P = 0.00256 x V2, where V = Wind Velocity in MPH and P = the Differential Pressure across the window in Pounds per Square Foot (PSF).
