Wind Load Calculation

Wind force is given by F = Cp Ae Pz

Choice of Cf [6.3.2.3 and Table 24]

Here, b =1 km(approx), h= 3 m, b/h >160

Since wall is on ground Cf = 2

Force on Barbed Wire

Forces at Base

Bending moment due to barbed wire and wall. = 10633.1069

Total Shear at base = 6.51317914

Calculation of stresses at base

Total Weight of masonary at base = 22.6044

Bending stress caused by vertical bending produced at base on
extreme edge = 6M/bd2
= 0.53601043

Compressive stress due to weight at base = P/A

= 0.06552

Maximum tensile stress at extreme fibre for vertical bending = -0.4704904

Check for tensile stress

According to 5.2.3.2 of IS 1905:1980 Code of practice for
structural safety of buildings: Masonry walls (second revision),
permissible tensile stress for freestanding vertical walls in
vertical bending is 0.07 N/mm2. However, the tensile stress at
base of wall at ground level amounts to 0.3 N/mm2, therefore,
exceeds the permissible value. The base width of wall is to be
increased for tensile stress design. The thickness of wall at
various heights is given by:

t = h x Sqrt(4808.78
Thus
t at height 1m from top = 0.21011797
t at height 1.5m from top = 0.29854315
t at height 2m from top = 0.37905655
t at height 3m from top = 0.52201547
