1 GENERAL
1.1 PURPOSE
After the disagreement between the extreme wind load code implementation the purpose of this
document is to explain the procedure used on the project.

1.5 RECORD OF THE PROBLEM
Wind load on TOUATGAZ Project FEED Documents is defined with two diferent situations.
Reference Wind Load defined for all structures and equipments in the project, defined according
to Algerian Code D.T.R. C 2-4.7.
Extreme Wind Load defined only for the structrures in the project. This wind is not refered to any
code and there is no reference to extreme wind in Algerian Codes.
FEED documents allow to define wind loads according to NV65 and ASCE 7.
At the start of the project TR study the way to implement both wind loads on the structur design. For the
Reference Wind Load pressure is calculated following D.T.R. C 2-4.7, for the Extreme Wind Load
pressure is calculated following ASCE code.

In this document is included the metorogical data from Extreme wind for one hour, for differents return
periods.
This value also coincides with the wind speed conversion graph, (DURST graph), which appears in
standard ASCE 7-02 and subsequents. Here, the conversion factor between the speed measured over
one hour and the speed measured over three seconds is 1.53, which in turn gives an extreme wind
speed of 49.57 m/s over 3 seconds. (The DURST graph is attached here too).

3 CONCLUSION
According to the indicated below is consistent with the provided meteorogical data and recogniced
engeneering procedures to asume that the 50m/s extreme wind speed is related to 3 second wind
speed, hence the most suitable wind pressure calculation, is the described on ASCE/SEI 7-05.
