Wind Load
For façade member(the wind pressure should be bigger than 1kPa)
Shape factor
1.4+0.2(inner

Wind Load Comparison in China and Hong Kong
For example
200m building (Zone B)
Generally, dead load is 1kPa, for 6 degree and 7degree zone, the seismic is 0.2~0.4(0.6) kPa
Canopy/Skylight
Snow load
Temperature Snow load temperature
Skylight /Roof Live Load
For roof (no crowed load), no need to combined the wind load and snow load at the
same time
Load combination
rGj=1.2 rQ1=1.4
rLi=0.6 wind load
rLi=0.7 live load
rLi=0.7 snow load
rLi=0.6 temperature
rGj=1.35 rQi=1.4
rLi=0.6 wind load
rLi=0.7 live load
rLi=0.7 snow load
rLi=0.6 temperature
For example
Mullion /transom
Deflection:
1.0dead load+1.0wind load
Stress
For mullion
1.2dead load +1.4 wind load+1.3x0.5seismic load
Canopy

1. Laminated glass/IGU glass :thickness difference t1-t2<=5mm (better)
2. If height of glass is lager that values in the table, the glass should be
hung on the parent structure.
