Force F = p x Af = qz x G x Cf x Af
maximum base shear due to wind = 2.8 kN
p: design pressure
qz: velocity pressure at height z above ground
G= 0.85 ( Guest Factor for Exposure C)
Cf = 0.7 (Force Coefficient)
Af= 4.081 Area projected area normal to wind
Kz= 1 (Velocity Pressure Exposure Coefficient for Exposure C given in Table 6-2))
Kzt = 1 (Topographical Factor)
Kd = 1 (Directional Factor)
V= 40.3 m/s (Wind Speed)
I= 1.15 (Importance Factor for Ocupance Category III)
