    Foreword

    This Part of this British Standard has been prepared by Subcommittee B/525/1,

    Actions (loadings) and basis of design, and supersedes CP3 : Chapter V : Part 2:

    1972.

    ‘Rds part of BS 6399 is a technical revision of CP3 : Chapter V : Part 2 and

    incorporates the considerable advances made and experience gained in wind

    engineering since that time. CP3 : Chapter V : M 2 will not be withdrawn

    immediately so as to allow an overlap period with this Part of BS 6399.

    The b=ic wind speed in thk British Standard is given as an hourly mean value;

    this differs from CP3 : Chapter V : Part 2 in which it was based on a 3 s gust

    value. However, the hourly mean basic wind speed is subsequently converted

    into a gust wind speed for use in design (by a gust peak factor wh]ch takes

    account of gust duration time, height of structure above ground and the size of

    the structure). The adoption of the hourly mean value for the basic wind speed is

    for technical reasons. Primarily it allows a more accumte treatment of

    topography, but it alao provides the starting pohrt for serviceability calculations

    involving fatigue or dynamic response of the stmcture. Its use is akw a move

    towards harmonization as mean values (sometimes 10 min means) are often the

    basis for wind loading calculations in European and international standards.

    Structure factors are used to check whether the response of the structure can be

    considered to be static, in which caae the use of the calculation methods in thk

    standard is appropriate. If the response is found to be mildly dynamic the

    methods can still be used but the resulting loads will need to be augmented.

    Structures which are dynamic will alsu be identified but their assessment is

    outside the scope of the standard.

    TWOalternative methods are given:

    a) a standard method, which uses a simplified procedure;

    b) a directional method, from which the simplified method was derived.

    The standard method gives a conservative result within its range of applicability.

    Calibration haa shown that loads on typicaf buildings obtained by the standard

    method are around 14 % larger than obtained from the directional method. The

    degee of conservatism can be much larger close to the ground and in towns, but

    decreaaes to zero around 100 m above the gruund.

    In addition to reduced conservatism, the directional method assessesthe loadhg

    in more detail, but with the penalty of increaaed complexity and compukitional

    effort. Because of this it is anticipated that the standard method will be used for

    most hand-baaed calculations and that the directional method wifl be

    implemented principally by computer

    Procedures are alao given to enable the standard effective wind speed to be used

    with the directional pressure coefficients and for the directional effective wind

    speeds to be used with the standard pressure coefficients.

    CP3 : Chapter V : Part 2 allowed for the effect of ground roughness, building

    size and height above gound by a single factor. This required the calculation of

    separate wind speeds for every combination of reference height above gruund

    and the size of the loaded area. However, a simp~] cation has been introduced in

    the standard method which involves the calculation of only a single wind speed

    for each reference height. The effect of size is allowed for by a separate

    factor, Cc

    BS 6399: Part 2 also gives values for external pressure coefficients for a greater

    mnge of building configurations than did CP3 : Chapter V : Part 2.

    Compliance with a British Standard does not of itseff confer immunity from

    legaf obligations.

    BS6399:Part 2:1995

    Section 1. General

    1.1 Scope

    ‘lidsRutof BS 6399 gives methods for determining

    the gust peak wind loads on buildings and

    components thereof that should be taken into

    account in design using equivalent static

    procedures.

    Two alternative methods are given:

    a) a standard method which uses a sirnpliiled

    pnxedure to obtain a standard effective wind

    speed which ix uacd with standard pressure

    coefficients to determine the wind loads for

    orthogonal design cases.

    NOTE 1. This procedure is virtually the same win CP3 :

    Chapter V : Parr 2.

    b) a directional method in which effective wind

    s~ds ~d Preasurc coefficients arc determined

    to derive the wind loads for each wind dtiction.

    Other methods may be used in place of the two

    methcds given in thix standard, provided that they

    can be shown to be equivalent. Such methods

    include wind tunnel tests which should be taken as

    equivalent only if they meet the conditions defined

    in armex A.

    NUTE

    2. Wind tunnel tests are recommended when the form of

    the building is not covered by the data i“ this standard, when

    the form of the b.ifdimg cm be changed in response to the test

    resulf.? in order to give an optimized design, or when loading

    data are required in more derail than is awe” in this standard.

    Specialist advice should be sought for building

    shapes and site locations that are not covered by

    this standard.

    The methods given in this Part of BS 6399 do not

    apply tO bufldkgs which, by virtue of the

    structural properties, e .g, maas, stiffness, natural

    frequency or damping, are particularly susceptible

    to dynamic excitation. These should be asaeased

    using established dynamic methods or wind tunnel

    tests.

    NOTE 3 See

    references [1] to 14] for examples of established

    dynamic methcds.

    NUI’E 4. If a building is susceptible to excitaticm by vortex

    shedding or other aemelastic instability, tie maximum dynamic

    respome may occur at wind speeds lower than the maximum.

    of the standard method, together with the relevant

    with double lines and are directly equivalent to the

    stages of the standard method. Various input data

    are shown in boxes outlined with singfe lines.

    1.5.2 The wind loads should be calculated for each

    of the loaded areas under consideration, depending

    on the dimensions of the building, defined in

    figure 2. These may be:

    a) the structure ax a whole;

    b) parts of the structure, such as walls and roofs

    or

    c) individual stmctural components, including

    cladding urrits arrd their ftinga.

    Nc71Z. Wind load on a partially completed structure may he

    construction.

    Sfage 4 Determines a site wind speed, still

    corresponding to the hourly mean wind speeds at a

    height of 10 m above ground in the standard exposure,

    from the basic wind speed by applying corrections for the

    site altitude, wind dbwmion and season. Up to this point,

    no allowance for the exposure of the particular site has

    been made and the procedure is common (except in ifs

    treafment of the

    effectsof

    topography) to both the

    sti”dard and dkectional metbd.

    NCflE The derivations of the b~ic wind speed map, the

    adjustments for site altitude, wind direction and season

    are given in annex B.

    Stage 6 .ksses.ses the exposure of the site in term of the

    terrain mugtmes and the effective height. llu?e

    categories of terrain roughness are used to define the site

    exposure. The effective height depends cm the degee of

    shelfer provided by neighbo”ri”g buildings or other

    permanent obstmcfiom.

    Stage k Having assessed the exposure of the site, this

    St&3e

    offers

    the choice between the standard nwtbcd a“d

    the directional method. The standard method @ves

    conservative values for standard orthogonal load czses,

    and a simplified method for buildin@ up to 1C4 m in

    height and for signirlcant to fmgmphy. The directional

    methcd gives a more precise value for any given wind

    direction, particularly for sites in towns, and where

    topography is significant. A simple rule for assessing the

    significance of tofmsraphy is provided.

    Stage 7 Determines the effective wind W&&S required

    by either method. The effective wind speed is a gust

    wind sp+ed appropriate to the site exposure and the

    height of the building. h the scmdard method this

    correspmds to a datum size of loaded area, while in the

    directional method this cm’resfmnds to the size of the

    loaded area under consideration.

    s~e 8 Converts the effective wind speed into an

    equwalent dynamic pressure.

    Stage 9 Selects pressureoefficients corresponding to

    the form of the building. In the standard method these

    coeffkienb correspond to a number (usually two or

    three) of orthogonal load cases, while in the directional

    methcd they correspond to the wind directions being

    considered (usually twelve).

    St-x. 10 Determines the wind loads from the dynamic

    factor and, in the standard method, by the size effect

    methods of this standard employ equivalent

    static loads to represent the effect of fluctuating

    loads which is applicable only to buildings which

    are not susceptible to dynamic excitation.

    The standard permits equivalent static loads to be

    used for the design of mildly dynamic structures by

    the introduction of a dynamic augmentation factor.

    The value of this factor depends upon the actual

    height H of the building above ground and on a

    building-type factor ~b obtained from table 1, for

    the form of construction of the buildlng.

    1.8 Choice of method

    1.8.1 For alf structures less than 100 m in height

    and where the wind loading can be represented by

    equivalent static loads (see 1.6), the wind loading

    can be otained either by the standard method

    described in section 2 or by the directional method

    given in section 3,

    1.8.2 The standard method provides values of

    effective wind speed to be used with the standard

    pressure coefficient (clauses 2.3 to 2.5) to

    determine orthogonal load cases, corresponding to

    the wind direction notionally normal or parallel to

    the faces of the buifding. The standard method

    uses a simplilled allowance for signiilcant

    topography, as defined in figure 7.

    1.8.3 The directional method gives values of the

    effective wind s~ed for different wind directions,

    taking into account the term.in appropriate to the

    wind dnction behrg considered, to be used with

    the directional pressure coefficients. It gives better

    estimates of effective wind speeds in towns and for

    sites affected by topography.

    L 8.4 However, m the standard method gives

    conservative values of both effective wind speed

    (below 100 m) and pressure coefficient, it may

    sometimes be appropriate to use a hybrid

    combination of both methods, either

    a) standard effective wind speeds with

    directional pressure coefficients; or

    b) directional effective wind speeds with

    standard pressure coefficients.

    Combination a) k aurxouriate when the form of

    the building is ‘well ‘defied, but the site is not; the

    caaes of relocatable buildings or

    standard

    mass- pruduced designs are typical examples.

    Combination b) is appropriate when only the

    standmd orthogonal load cases are required, but a

    better allowance for site exposure is desired

    because topogmphy is signifkant and/or the site is

    in a town. Such hybrid combinations should be

    app~ed only in accordance with 3.4.

    2 .1 .1 . 1 T h e standard method requires assessment

    for orthogonal load cases for wind dmections

    normal to the faces of the buifdmg, as shown in

    figure 2b. When the building is doubly-symmetric,

    e.g. rectangular-plan with flat, equal- duopitch or

    hipped roof, the two orthogonal cases shown in

    figure 2b are sufficient, When the building is

    singly-symmetric, three orthogonal cases are

    required, e.g. for rectangular-plan monopitch

    buildings: wind norrnaf to high eaves; wind normal

    to low eaves; wind pwallel to eaves. When the

    buifdlng is asymmetric, four orthogorwd cases are

    n?quired.

    2.1.1.2 For each orthogonal case, the range of

    wind dmctions *45” either side of the direction

    normal to the building face should be considered.

    When symmetry is used to reduce the number of

    internal pressures. Values of size effect factor are

    given in figure4, dependent onthe site exposure

    (see 1.’7) and the diagonal dnenaion a.

    For external pressures the diagonal dimension a is

    the largest diagonal of the area over which load

    is defined in 2.6 which is dependent on the

    For all individual stmctural components, claddlng

    For overalf loads on enclosed buildhga, 60 % of the

    load on each waif or roof pitch should be applied in

    at the design values.

    Where the inffuence function for a structural

    adjust the basic wind speed Vb for the altitude of

    standard method depends on whether topography

    is considered to be significant, as indicated by the

    simple criteria in f~re 7. When topogmphy is not

    considered significant, Sa should be calculated

    using the procedure in 2.2.2.2.2. When topography

    is signifhint, S1 should be calculated using the

    procedure in 2.2.2.2.3 for the wind direction

    -

    yielding the largest value of S=, typically the

    diection with the steepest slope upwind of the site.

    with inset storwfp

    r flat roofs with inset storeys, defined in

    Nre 18, external pressure coefficients for both

    e uPPer roofs and lower roofs should be derived

    fouows.

    a) For the upper roof the appropriate procedure

    of 2.5.1.3, 2.5.1.4, 2.5.1.5 or 2.5.1.6, depending

    on the form of the eaves, should be used, taking

    the reference height H, aa the actual height to

    the upper eaves, and Has the height of the inset

    storey (from the upper eaves to the lower roof

    level) for determining the scaling length b.

    b) For the lower roof the appropriate procedure

    of 2.5.1.3, 2.5.1.4, 2.5.1.5 or 2.5.1.6, depending

    on the form of the eaves, should be used, where

    H, = H and is the actual height of the lower

    storey, ignoring the effect of the inset atoreys.

    However, a further zone around the base of the

    inset storeys extending b/2from each facing waif

    should be included, where b is the safing

    p-eter fmm 2.5.1.2 appropriate to the

    relevant walls of the inset storey. The pressure

    coefficient in this zone should be taken as that of

    the zone in the adjacent wall of the upper stor’ey

    (as determined from 2.4).

    2.5.2 Mon op it ch an d d uop it ch roofs

    2 .5 .2 .1

    Genera l

    Monopitch and duopitch rrmfs of buildm are

    defined as rvofs with gable ends.

    NOTE. Hippedroofform aretreatedseparatelynZ.6.3.

    2.5.2.2

    L oa d ed zon es

    Zones over which the extemaf

    pressure

    coefficient

    is assumed to be constant for both monopitch and

    duopitch rwfs am shown in figures 19 and 20.

    These zones are strips parallel to the eaves and

    verge and are defiied in terms of the waling

    lengths ~ and bW where bf, = L or bf, = 2ff,

    whichever is the smaller, and bW = W or bW = 21f,

    whichever is the smaller.

    2.5.2.3

    Mon op i t ch m oJ 3

    External pressure coefficients for monopitch roofs

    should be obtained from table 9, using the key in

    figure 19, Owing to the asymmetry of this roof

    form, values arc given for three orthogonal load

    cases wind normal to the low eaves (0 . 0°),

    wind normal to the gable [8 = 90°) and wind

    normaf to the high eaves (6 = 180”).

    2.5.2.4

    Du op i t ch r oof i

    2 . 5 . 2 . 4 . 1 External pressure coefficients for

    duopitch roofs should be obtained from table 10,

    using the key in figure 20. Values arc given for two

    wind directions: wind normal to the low eaves

    (d = 0°) and wind normal to the gable (0 - 900).

    These coefficients are appropriate to duopitch

    faces of equal pitch but maybe used without

    modification provided the upwind and downwind

    pitch angles are within 5° of each other. For

    duopitch roofs of greater disparity in pitch angles

    see reference [6].

    2 .5 .2 . 4 . 2 When a c 7 °and W < bf,, zone C for

    the load case .9= 0° should be considered to

    extend for a distance bf/2 downwind from the

    windward cave (as shown for flat roofs in

    figure 16), replacing ridge zones E and F and part

    of zone G.

    2.5.3 Hipped roofs

    External pressure coefficients for conventional

    hipped roofs on cuboidal-plan buildings, where all

    faces of the roof have the same pitch angle and are

    in the range a =

    -45° t o +75°, are given in

    table 11. The definitions of loaded zones and pitch

    af@eS are

    given in tigurc 21. The data in table 11

    may be applied to hipped roofs where main faces

    and hipped faces have dtiferent pitch angles,

    provided the pitch angle of the upwind face is used

    for each wind direction, as indicated in f~re 21.

    Negative pitch angles occur when the roof is a

    hipped-tmugh form. For pressure coefficients for

    skew- bipped roofs and other hipped rcmf forms see

    reference [6].

    2.5.4 Mansard roofs

    External pressure coefficients for mansard roofs

    and other multi-pitch roofs should be derived for

    each plane face by the procedure given in 2.5.2 for

    roofs with gable ver%es or the procedure given

    in

    2 .5 .3

    for roofs with hipped verges, using the

    pitch angle for each plane face. The key in

    figure 22 indicates

    where

    edge zones should be

    omitted.
