This online Wind Load Calculator is designed to compute wind pressure on various types of structures, including buildings, fences, and roofs. By taking into account the structure’s area, region, and height, it helps ensure structural safety by determining the average wind load acting on each element.
Main features of the calculator:
Calculation of wind load on rectangular buildings.
Calculation of wind load on gable roofs.
Calculation of wind load on fences or walls.
Calculation process:
Select the type of structure for which the wind load will be calculated (e.g., building, fence, roof).
For buildings and roofs, specify the wind direction. For convenience, walls or roof slopes are marked with the letters "A" and "B".
Enter the dimensions of the structure (length, width, height).
Determine the wind zone or region in which the structure is located.
Select the type of terrain, which also influences the load calculation.
Click the "Calculate" button to display the wind load results for each section of the structure.
All results are presented in a table format, with each wind load zone clearly highlighted to facilitate the analysis of the load distribution across the structure.
Note:
The reliability factor for wind load is 1.4.
If the wind-exposed dimensions exceed the actual size of the structure, the wind load is considered to be distributed across the entire building or structure.
A positive load indicates the wind is acting on the structure, while a negative load signifies that the pressure is directed away from it.
This Wind Load Calculator is a valuable tool for both professionals and enthusiasts in the construction industry, offering a straightforward and precise method to assess wind loads on buildings, fences, and roofs.
