    The document provides calculations for wind load on a structure according to API 4F standards. It gives the design wind speed as 185 km/h or 51.39 m/s. With an elevation factor of 1.2, the wind velocity is calculated to be 61.668 m/s. Using this wind velocity, a factor for the angle of the structural member of 1, and a shape factor of 1.8, the final wind load is calculated as 5.923098.

    Wind Load Claculation as per API 4F

    Design Wind speed Vdes = 185 km/h


    = 51.39 m/s
    Elevation factor β = 1.2 (From Table - 6)
    Wind velocity Vz = Vdes X β
    = 61.668 m/s

    Factor account for the angle of inclination Ki = 1


    between wind & the structural member
    Shape factor Cs = 1.8 (From Table - 8)

    Fm = 0.00338 X Ki X Vz2 X Cs X A
    = 5.923098
    1
