A) CHECK FOR NEED OF PROVIDING LIGHTNING PROTECTION
i) Input Data :-
a) Dimensions of Building / Structure
Length of the Building L ( Refer the Relevant Layout = 43.62 m
Width of the Building W Drawings of the Building / = 12.20 m
Height of the Building H Structure ) = 17.53 m
b) Lightning Flash Density & Weighing Factors
Number of Thunderstorm Days / Year N ( Refer Fig. 1 of IS 2309 ) = 27 No. of Days / Year
( Refer Clause 8.1.2 of
Lightning Flash Density (Flashes to Ground /km2/year) Ng = 5 Nos./km2/year
IS 2309 )
Weighting Factor A ( Use of Structure ) A ( Refer Table 1A of IS 2309 ) = 1
( Type of
Weighting Factor B B ( Refer Table 1B of IS 2309 ) = 0.2
Construction )
Weighting Factor C ( Content of Consequential Effects ) C ( Refer Table 1C of IS 2309 ) = 1
Weighting Factor D ( Degree of Isolation ) D ( Refer Table 1D of IS 2309 ) = 0.4
Weighting Factor E ( Type of Country ) E ( Refer Table 1E of IS 2309 ) = 0.3
ii) Calculations :-
(L x W) + 2 (L x H) +
Collection Area ( Refer Clause 8.1.2 of IS 2309 ) Ac = = 3452.79 Meter2
2(W x H) + 3.14 H2
Probable Number of Strikes to Building / Structure per Year
P = Ac x Ng x 10-6 times/year = 0.017264 Times per year
( Refer Clause 8.1.2 of IS 2309 )
Overall Multiplying Factor = AxBxCxDxE = 0.024000
Overall Multiplying = 0.000414
Overall Risk Factor Calculated Rf-C =
Factor x P ie 4.1434E-04
iii) Maximum Acceptable Overall Risk Factor:-
( Refer Clauses 8.1.3 & = 0.000001
Maximum Acceptable Overall Risk Factor Rf-A
8.1.6 of IS 2309 ) ie 1.000E-06
iv) Result / Conclusion :-
Since Overall Risk Factor Calculated > Maximum Acceptable Overall Risk Factor
Hence, Lightning Protection is Required.
B) CHECK FOR ADEQUACY OF NUMBER OF DOWN CONDUCTORS
(Applicable if Provision for Lightning Protection is needed)
Calculations (As per Clause 12.2.3 of IS-2309):-
Base Area of Structure Ab = ( L x W ) = 532.10 Meter2
Perimeter of Structure P = 2(L+W) = 111.63 Meter
