CALCULATION OF GUST EFFECT FACTOR ( )

(AS PER ASCE 7-02)

Basic Data :

Basic wind speed,V,at reference height of 33ft in Exposure - C = 85 mph

Exposure type for building terrain = c
Building height, h = 779 ft
Building width (dimension perpendicular to wind) = 231 ft
Building depth (dimension parallel to wind) = 231 ft
Building natural frequency, n1 = 0.33 Hz
Damping ratio, b = 0.015

Gust factor Gf is given by Gf = 0.925

gv = 3.400
gQ = 3.400
gR = 3.916
zmin (from Table 6-2) = 15.00 ft
ź (equivalent height of structure) = 467.4 ft (maximum of zmin & 0.6h)
c (from Table 6-2) = 0.20
Iź = c (33 / ź)1/6 = 0.12858
e' (from Table 6-2) = 0.200
l (from Table 6-2) = 500 ft
Lź = l (ź / 33)e = 849.58
b (structure width) = 231 ft
Q =1 / (1 + 0.63 [(b+h)/Lź]ˆ(0.63)

= 0.58736 ft
b' (from Table 6-2) = 0.65
ά (from Table 6-2) = 0.154
Vref = 124.67 ft/sec
Vź =b' (ź/33)^ά * Vref = 121.83 ft/sec
N1 = n1 Lź / Vz = 2.301
Rn = 7.465 N1 / (1 + 10.302 N1)5/3 = 0.08196
for Rh h = 4.6*n1h / Vź = 9.70603
for RB h = 4.6*n1B / Vź = 2.87817
for RL h = 15.4*n1L / Vź = 9.63561
Now, Rh = 1/h - (1/2h²)(1-e-2h) = 0.09772
RB = 1/h - (1/2h²)(1-e )-2h
= 0.28728
RL = 1/h - (1/2h²)(1-e )-2h
= 0.09840
R² =(1/b)RnRhRb(0.53 + 0.47*Rd) = 0.088
