Formulas:

P = qhGCp
qh = qz
qz =47.36x 106 ( K z )( K zt )( K d )(V 2 )( I w )
where:
Kz

= 0.70

Based on ASCE 7 Standard for various types of structures and by

interpolation we get:
For windward side:
For leeward side:

Cp = -0.559 and 0.0954

Cp = -0.547

Wind pressures:
Windward side:
Leeward side:

P = -0.3KPa and P = 0.0513KPa

P = -0.294KPa

(From STAAD)

Section 1 = C 3 x 5
Ag = 948.4 mm2
Maximum Tensile Force = 109.428 KN
Maximum Compressive Force = 136.343 KN

Ag = 767.7 mm2
Maximum Tensile Force = 78.920 KN
Maximum Compressive Force = 36.230 KN

Checking for the capacity of each section:

Section 1 = C 3 x 5
For Tension:
T = 0.6fyAg = 0.6(248) (948.4) 1000 = 141.122 KN > 109.503 KN
ok!
For Compression:

ok!

T = 0.6fyAg = 0.6(248) (948.4) 1000 = 141.122 KN > 136.343 KN

DESIGN OF SECTION

Section 1 = C 3 x 5
For Tension:
T = 0.6fyAg
109.428 (1000) = 0.6(248) Ag
Ag = 735.40 mm2 1.14 in2
For Compression:
T = 0.6fyAg
136.343 (1000) = 0.6(248) Ag
Ag = 916.28 mm2 1.42 in2

C Sections:
C 3 x 4.1
(Ag = 1.21 in2, 780.6 mm2)
C3x5
(Ag = 1.47 in2, 948.4 mm2)
C3x6
(Ag = 1.76 in2, 1135.5 mm2)
Since minimum Ag = 1.14 in2, C 3 x 5 is the most economical and safest
section.
