FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard (Part 1) (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on 30 October 1987, after the draft finalized by the Structural Safety Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.

w eights and m easurem ents w as adopted. 0.3.1 With the increased adoption of the code, a number of comments were received on provisions on live load values adopted for different occupancies. Simultaneously, live load surveys have been carried out in America and Canada to arrive at realistic live loads based on actual determination of loading (movable and immovable) in different occupancies. Keeping this in view and other developments in the field of wind engineering, the Sectional Committee responsible for the preparation of the standard has decided to prepare the second revision in the following five parts: Part 1 Dead loads Part 2 Imposed loads Part 3 Wind loads Part 4 Snow loads Part 5 Special loads and loads combinations Earthquake load is covered in a separate standard, namely IS : 1893-1984* which should be considered along with the above loads. 0.4 This standard deals with dead loads to be assumed in the design of buildings and same is given in the form of unit weight of materials. The unit weight of other materials that are likely to be stored in a building are also included for the purpose of load calculations due to stored materials. 0.4.1 This standard incorporates IS : 1911† published in 1967. The unit weight of materials incorporated in this standard are based on information available through published Indian Standards and various other publications. 0.4.2 This edition 3.1 incorporates Amendment No. 1 (December 1997). Side bar indicates modification of the text as the result of incorporation of the amendment. 0.4.3 T he values given in this standard have been rounded off in accordance w ith IS : 2 - 1960‡.

0.2 A building has to perform m any functions satisfactorily. A m ongst these functions are the utility of the building for the intended use and occupancy, structural safety, fire safety; and com pliance w ith hygienic, sanitation, ventilation and daylight standards. T he design of the building is dependent upon the m inim um requirem ents prescribed for each of the above functions. T he m inim um requirem ents pertaining to the structural safety of buildings are being covered in this code by w ay of laying dow n m inim um design loads w hich have to be assum ed for dead loads, im posed loads, snow loads and other external loads, the structure w ould be required to bear. S trict conform ity to loading standards recom m ended in this code, it is hoped, w ill not only ensure the structural safety of the buildings w hich are being designed and constructed in the country and thereby reduce the hazards to life and property caused by unsafe structures, but also elim inate the w astage caused by assum ing unnecessarily heavy loadings. 0.3 T his Indian S tandard code of practice w as first published in 1957 for the guidance of civil engineers, designers and architects associated w ith planning and design of buildings. It included the provisions for the basic design loads (dead loads, live loads, w ind loads and seism ic loads) to be assum ed in the design of buildings. In its first revision in 1964, the w ind pressure provisions w ere m odified on the basis of studies of w ind phenom enon and its effect on structures, undertaken by the special com m ittee in consultation w ith the Indian M eteorological D epartm ent. In addition to this, new clauses on w ind loads for butterfly type structures w ere included; w ind pressure coefficients for sheeted roofs both curved and sloping, w ere m odified; seism ic load provisions w ere deleted (separate code having been prepared) and m etric system of

IS : 875 (Part 1) - 1987 1. SCOPE

NOTE 1 — Table 1 gives the unit weight mass of individual building materials in alphabetical order; Table 2 covers the unit weight mass of parts or components of a building; and Appendix A gives unit weight mass of stored materials.

1.1 This code (Part 1) covers unit weight/mass of materials, and parts or components in a building that apply to the determination of dead loads in the design of buildings. 1.1.1 The unit weight/mass of materials that are likely to be stored in a building are also specified for the purpose of load calculations along with angles of internal friction as appropriate.

CODE OF PRACTICE FOR DESIGN LOADS (OTHER THAN EARTHQUAKE) FOR BUILDINGS AND STtiUCTURES PART 2 IMPOSED LOADS

(Second Revision) 0.

FOR E W O R D

0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part 2 ) ( Second Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on 31 August 1987. after the draft finalized by the Structural Safety Sectional Committee had been approved by the Buildmg Division Council. 0.2 A building has to perform many functions satisfactorily. Amongst these functions are the utility of the building for the intended use and occupancy, structural safety, fire safety; and compliance with hygienic, sanitation, ventilation and day light standards. The design of the building is dependent upon the minimum requirements prescribed for each of the above functions. The minimum requirements pertaining to the structural safety of buildings are being covered in this Code by way of laying down minimum design loads which have to be assumed for dead loads, imposed loads, snow loads and other external loads, the structure would be required to bear. Strict conformity to loading standards recommended in this Code, it is hoped, will not only ensure the structural safety of the buildings which are being designed and constructed in the country and thereby reduce the hazards to life and property caused by unsafe structures, but also eliminate the wastage caused by assuming unnecessarily heavy loadings. 0.3 This Code was first published in 1957 for the guidance of civil engineers, designers and architects associated with the planning and design of buildings. It included the provisions for the basic design loads ( dead loads, live loads, wind loads and seismic loads ) to be assumed in the design of buildings. In its firs! revision in 1964, the wind pressure provisions were modified on the basis of studies of wind phenomenon and its effects on structures, undertaken by the special committee in consultation with the Indian Meteorological Department. In addition to this, new clauses on wind loads for butterfly type structures were included; wind ,pressure coefficients for sheeted roofs, both curved and sloping, were modified; seismic load provisions were deleted ( separate code having been prepared ) and metric system of weights and measurements was adopted.

0.3.1 With the increased adoption of the Code, a number of comments were received on the provisions on live load values adopted for different occupancies. Simultaneously live load surveys have been carried out in America and Canada to arrive at realistic live loads based on actual determination of loading ( movable and immovable ) in different occupancies. Keeping this in view and other developments in the field of wind engineering, the Sectional Committee responsible for the preparation of the Code has decided to prepare the second revision of IS : 875 in the following five parts : Part 1 Dead loads Part 2 Imposed loads Part 3 Wind loads Part 4 Snow loads Part 5 Special loads and load combinations Earthquake load is covered in a separate standard, namely IS : 1893-1984* which should be considered along with above loads. 0.3.2 This Code ( Part 2 ) deals with imposed loads on buildings produced by the intended occupancy or use. In this revision, the following importalit changes have been made: a) The use of the term ‘live load’ has been modified to ‘imposed load’ to cover not only the physical contribution due to persons but also due to nature of occupancy, the furniture and other equipments which are a part of the character of the occupancy. b) The imposed loads on floors and roofs have been rationalized based on the codified data available in large number of latest foreign national standards, and other literature. Further, these values have been spelt out for the major occupancies as classified in the National Building Code of India as well as the various service areas appended to the major occupancies. *Criteria for earthquake resistant design of structures (fourth revision ).

the prevailing practices in regard to loading standards followed in this country by the various municipal authorities and has also taken note of the developments in a number of countries abroad. In the preparation of this Code, the following national standards have been examined :

The reduction of imposed loads for design of vertical supporting members in multi-storeyed b u i l d i n g s h a s b e e n further increased from 40 to 50 percent. Provision has been included for sign posting of loads on floors in view of the different loadings specified. for different occupancies and to avoid possible misuse in view of conversion of occupancies. The value of loads on parapets and balustrades have been revised with its effect taken both in the horizontal and vertical directions. In the design of dwelling units planned with executed in accordance and IS : 8888-1979*, an imposed load of 1.5 kN/m* is allowed. SI Units have been used in the Code.

2.1 Imposed Load - The load assumed to be produced by the intended use or occupancy of a building, mcluding the weight of movable partitions, distributed, concentrated loads, load due to impact and vibration, and dust load but excluding wind, seismic, snow and other loads due to temperature changes, creep, shrinkage, differential settlement, etc. 2.2 Occupancy or Use Group - The principal occupancy for which a building or part of a building is used or intended to be used; for the purpose of classification of a building according to occupancy, an occupancy shall be deemed to include subsidiary occupancies which are contingent upon it. The occupancy classification is given from 2.2.1 to 2.2.8. 2.2.1 Assembly Buildings - These shall include any building or part of a building where groups of people congregate or gather for amusement, recreation, social, religious, patriotic, Civil, travel and similar purposes, for example, theatres, motion picture houses, assembly halls, city halls,

1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard ( Part 2) covers imposed loads* ( live loads ) to be assumed in the design of buildings. The imposed !oads, specified herein, are minimum loads which should be taken into consideration for the purpose of structural safety of buildings. 1.2 This Code does not cover detailed provisions for loads incidental to construction and special cases of vibration, such as moving machinery, heavy acceleration from cranes, hoists and the like. Such loads shall be dealt with individually in each case. 2. TERMINOLOGY 2.0 For the purpose of this Code, the following definitions shall apply. *The word ‘imposed load’ is used through out instead of ‘live load’ which is synonymous. 5

*Guide for requirements of low income housing. tWhere unrestricted assembly of persons is anticipated, the value of UDL should be increased to 4.0 kN/m*. $‘With fixed seats’ implies that the removal of the seating and the use of the space for other purposes is improbable. The maximum likely load in this case is, therefore, closely controlled. §The loading in industrial buildings ( workshops and factories ) varies considerably and SO three loadings under the terms ‘light’, ‘medium’ and ‘heavy’ are introduced in order to allow for more economical designs but the terms have no special meaning in themselves other than the imposed load for which the relevant floor is designed. It is, however, important particularly in the case of heavy weight loads, to assess the actual loads to ensure that they are not in excess of 10 kN/m*; in case where they are in excess, the design shall be based on the actual loadings. i/For various mechanical handling equipment which are used to transport goods, as in warehouses, workshops, store rooms, etc, the actual load coming from the use of such equipment shall be as-ertained and design should cater to such loads.

11

IS : 875 ( Part 2 ) - 1Yar N OTE 4 - While selecting a particular loading, the possible change in use or occupancy of the building should be kept in view. Designers should not necessarily select in every case the lower loading appropriate to the first occupancy. In doing this, they might introduce considerable restrictions in the use of the build-

ing at a later date and thereby reduce its utility.

N OTE 5 - The loads specified herein which are based on estimations, may be considered as the characteristic loads for the purpose of limit state method of design till such time statistical data are established based on load surveys to be conducted in the country. N OTE 6 - When an existing building is altered by an extension in height or area, all existing structural parts affected by the addition shall be strengthened, where necessary, and all new structural parts shall be designed to meet the requirements for building thereafter erected. N OTE 7 - The loads specified in the Code does not

include loads incidental to construction. Therefore, close supervision during construction is essential to

eusure that overloading of the building due to loads by way of stacking of building materials or use of equipment ( for example, cranes and trucks ) during construction or loads which may be induced by floor to floor propping in multi-storeyed construction. does not occur. However: if construction loads were of short duration, permissible increase in stresses in the case of working stress method or permissible decrease in load factors in limit state method, as applicable to relevant design codes, may be allowed for. N OTE 8 - The loads in Table 1 are grouped together as applicable to buildings having separate principal occupancy or use. For a building with multiple occupancies, the loads appropriate to the occupancy with comparable use shall be chosen from other occupancies. N OTE 9 -- Regarding loading on machine rooms inc!uding storage space used for repairing lift machines, designers should go by the recommendations of lift manufacturers for the present. Regarding the loading due to false ceiling the same should be considered as an imposed load on the roof/floor to which it is fixed.

3.1.1 Load Application - The uniformly distributed loads specified in Table 1 shall be applied as static loads over the entire floor area under consideration or a portion of the floor area whichever arrangement produces critical effects on the structural elements as provided in respective design codes.

weight per metre run of finished partitions, subject to a minimum of 1 kN/m2, provided total weight of partition walls per square metre of the wall area does not exceed 1.5 kN/m2 and the total weight per metre length is not greater than 4.0 kN. 3.2 Reduction in Imposed Loads on Floors 3.2.1 For Floor Supporting Structuraal Members Except as provided for in 3.2.1.1, the following reductions in assumed total imposed loads on floors may be made in designing columns, load bearing walls, piers, their supports and foundations. Number of Floors ( In&d- Reduction in Total ing the Roof) to be Carried Distributed Imposed by Member under Load on all Floors to Consideration be Carried by the Member under Consideration ( Percent ) 1 2 3 4 5 to 10 Over 10

0 10 20 30 40 50

3.2.1.1 NO reduction shall be made for any plant or machinery which is specifically allowed for, or in buildings for storage purposes, warehouses and garages. However, for other buildings where the floor is designed for an imposed floor load of 5.0 kN/m” or more, the reductions shown in 3.2.1 may be taken, provided that the loading assumed is not less than it would have been if all the floors had been designed for 5.0 kNjmZ with no reductions. N OTE -In case if the reduced load in the lower floor is lesser than the reduced load in the upper floor, then the reduced load of the upper floor will be adopted.

In the design of floors, the concentrated loads are considered to be applied in the positions which produce the maximum stresses and where deflection is the main criterion, in the positions which produce the maximum deflections Concentrated load, when used for the calculation of bending and shear are assumed to act at a point. When used for the calculation of local effects, such as crushing or punching, they are assumed to act over an actual area of application of 0.3 x 0.3 m.

3.2.1.2 An example is given in Appendix A illustrating the reduction of imposed loads in a multi-storeyed building in the design of column members. 3.2.2 For Reams in Each Floor Level - Where a single span of beam, girder or truss supports not less than 50 m2 of floor at one general level, the imposed floor load may be reduced in the design of the beams, girders or trusses by 5 percent for each 50 ma area supported subject to a maximum reduction of 25 percent. However, no reduction shall be made in any of the following types of loads:

3.1.2 Loads Due to Light Partitions - In office and other buildings where actual loads due to light partitions cannot be assessed at the time of planning, the floors and the supporting structural members shall be designed to carry, in addition to other loads, a uniformly distributed load per square metre of not less than 339 percent of

N OTE - The above reduction does not apply to beams, girders or trusses supporting roof loads. 3.3 Posting of Floor Capacities - Where a floor or part of a floor of a building has been designed to sustain a uniformly distributed load exceeding 3.0 kN/m2 and in assembly, business, mercantile, industrial or storage buildmgs, a permanent notice in the form as shown in the label, indicating the actual uniformly distributed and/or concentrated loadings for which the floor has been structurally designed shall be posted in a conspicuous place in a position adjacent to such floor or on such part of a floor.

4.4 Dust Load - Jn areas prone to settlement of dust on roofs ( example, steel plants, cement plants ), provision for dust load equivalent to probable thickness of accumulation of dust may be made. 4.5 Loads on Members Supporting Roof Coverings - Every m e m b e r o f t h e supporting structure which is directly supporting the roof covering(s) shall be designed to carry the more severe of the following loads except as provided in 4.5.1 :

Second Revision) 6). FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part 3 ) ( Second Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on 13 November 1987, after the draft finalized by the Structural Safety Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.

sheeted modified; ( separate system of

roofs, both curved and seismic load provisions code having been prepared weights and measurements

sloping were were deleted ) and metric was adopted.

0.3.1 With the increased adoption of this Code, a number of comments were received on provisions on live load values adopted for. different occupancies. Simultaneously, live load surveys have been carried out in America and Canada to arrive at realistic live loads based on actual determination of loading ( movable and immovable ) in different occupancies. Keeping this in view and other developments in the field of wind engineering, the Structural Safety Sectional Committee decided to prepare the second revision of IS : 875 in the following five parts:

0.2 A building has to perform many functions satisfactorily. Amongst these functions are the utility of the building for the intended use and occupancy, structural safety, fire safety and compliance with hygienic, sanitation, ventilation and daylight standards. The design of the building is dependent upon the minimum requirements prescribed for each of the above functions. The minimum requirements pertaining to the structural safety of buildings are being covered in loading codes by way of laying down minimum design loads which have to be assumed for dead loads, imposed loads, wind loads and other external loads, the structure would be required to bear. Strict conformity to loading standards, it is. hoped, will not only ensure the structural safety of the buildings and structures which are being designed and constructed in the country and thereby reduce the hazards to life and property caused by unsafe structures, but also eliminate the wastage caused by assuming unnecessarily heavy loadings without proper assessment.

Part 1 Dead loads Part 2 Imposed loads Part 3 Wind loads Part 4 Snow loads Part 5 Special loads and load combinations Earthquake load is covered in a separate standard, namely, IS : 1893-1984* which should be considered along with the above loads.

0.3 This standard was first published in 1957 for the guidance of civil engineers, designers and architects associated with the planning and design of buildings. It included the provisions for the basic design loads ( dead loads, live loads, wind loads and seismic loads ) to be assumed in the design of the buildings. In its first revision in 1964, the wind pressure provisions were modified on the basis of studies of wind phenomenon and its effect on structures, undertaken by the special committee in consultation with the Indian Meteorological Department. In addition to this, new clauses on wind loads for butterfly type structures were included; wind pressure coefficients for

0.3.2 This Part ( Part 3 ) deals with wind loads to be considered when designing buildings, structures and components thereof. In this revision, the following important modifications have been made from those covered in the 1964 version of IS : 875: a) The earlier wind pressure maps ( one giving winds of shorter duration and another excluding winds of shorter duration ) *Criteria for earthquake (fourlh recision ).

design of structures

IS : 875 ( Part 3 ) - 1987 have been replaced by a single wind map giving basic maximum wind speed in m/s ( peak gust velocity averaged over a short time interval of about 3 seconds duration ). The wind speeds have been worked out for 50 years return period based on the upto-date wind data of 43 dines pressure tube ( DPT ) anemograph stations and study of other related works available on the subject since 1964. The map and related recommendations have been provided in the code with the active cooperation of Indian Meteorological Department ( IMD ). Isotachs ( lines of equal velocity ) have not been given as in the opinion of the committee, there is still not enough extensive meteorological data at close enough stations in the country to justify drawing of isotachs.

b)

Modification factors to modify the basic wind velocity to take into account the effects of terrain, local topography, size of structure, etc, are included.

Terrain is now classified into four categories based on characteristics of the ground surface irregularities.

d)

Force and pressure coefficients have been included for a large range of clad and unclad buildings and for individual structural elements.

meteorological wind data and response of structures to wind, felt the paucity of data on which to base wind maps for Indian conditions on statistical analysis. The Committee, therefore, recommall individuals and organizations ends to responsible for putting-up of tall structures to ,provide instrumentation in. their existing and new structures ( transmission towers, chimneys, cooling towers, buildings, etc ) at different elevations ( at least at two levels ) to continuously measure and monitor wind data. The instruments are required to collect data on wind direction, wind speed and structural response of the structure due to wind ( with the help of accelerometer, strain gauges, etc ). It is also the opinion of the committee that such instrumentation in tall structures will not in any way affect or alter the functional behaviour of such structures. The data so collected will be very valuable in evolving more accurate wind loading of structures. 0.4 The Sectional Committee responsible for the preparation of this standard has taken into account the prevailing practice in regard to loading standards followed in this country by the various authorities and has also taken note of the developments in a number of other countries. In the preparation of this code, the following overseas standards have also been examined: a) BSCP 3 : 1973 Code of basic data for design of buildings: Chapter V Loading, Part 2 Wind loads.

Force coefficients ( drag coefficients ) are given for frames, lattice towers, walls and hoardings.

b) AS 1170, Part 2-1983 SAA Part 2 - Wind forces.

f 1 The calculation of force on circular sections is included incorporating the effects of Reynolds number and surface roughness. g)

Pressure coefficients are given for combined roofs, roofs with sky light, circular siIos, cylindrical elevated structures, grandstands, etc.

IS : 802 ( Part 1 )-I977 Code of practice for use of structural steel in overhead transmission line towers: Part 1 Loads and permissible stresses ( smmd revision )

1.1 This standard gives wind forces and their effects ( static and dynamic ) that should he taken into account when designing buildings, structures and components thereof. 1.1.1 It is believed that ultimately wind load estimation will be made by taking into account the random variation of wind speed with time but available theoretical methods have not matured sufficiently at present for use in the code. For this season, static wind method of load estimation which implies a steady wind speed, which has proved to be satisfactory for normal, short and heavy structures, is given in 5 and 6. However, a beginning has been made to take account of the random nature of the wind speed by requiring that the along-wind or drag load on structures which are prone to wind induced oscillations, be also determined by the gust factor method ( see 8 ) and the more severe of the two estimates be taken for design.

IS : 11504-1985 Criteria for structural design of reinforced concrete natural draught cooling towers NOTE 1 - This standard does not apply to buildings or structures with unconventional shapes, unusual locations, and abnormal environmental conditions that have not been covered in this code. Special investigations are necessary in such cases to establish wind loads and their effects. Wind tunnel studies may aiso be required in such situations.

NOTE2 - In the case of tall structures unsymmetrical geometry, the designs may have checked for torsional effects due to wind pressure.

A large majority of structures met with in practice do not however, suffer wind induced oscillations and generally do not require to be examined for the dynamic effects of wind, including use of gust factor method, Nevertheless, there are various types of structures or their components such as some tall buildings, chimneys, latticed towers, cooling towers, transmission towers, guyed masts, communication towers, long span bridges, partially or completely solid faced antenna dish, etc, which require investigation of wind induced oscillations.

a) The coefficients refer to the members of infinite length. For members of finite length, the coefficients should be multiplied by a factor K that depends on the ratio I/b where 1 is the length of the member and 5 is the width across the direction or wind. Table 25 gives the required values of K. The foliowing special cases must be noted while estimating K.

7. DYNAMIC

EFFECTS

7.1 General - Flexible slender structures and structural elements shall be investigated to ascertain the importance of wind induized oscillations or excitations along and across the direction of wind. In general, the following guidelines may be ‘used for examining the problems of wind induced oscillations: a) Buildings and closed structures with a height to minimum lateral dimension ratio of more than about 5.0. and

IS : 875 ( Part 3 ) - 1987 tions with a type of motion which is a combination of the individual modes of motion. Such energy transfer takes place when the natural frequencies of modes, taken individually, are close to each other ( ratio. being typically less than 2’0 ). Flutter can set in at wind speeds much less than those required for exciting the individual modes of motion. Long span suspension bridge decks or any member of a structure with large values of d/t ( where d is the depth of a structure or structural member parallel to wind stream and t is the least lateral dimension of a member ) are prone to low speed flutter. Wind tunnel testing is required to. determine critical flutter speeds and the likely structural response. Other types of flutter are single degree of freedom stall flutter, torsional flutter, etc.

b) Buildings and closed structures whose natural frequency in the first mode -is less than 1-O Hz. Any building or structure which does not satisfy either of the above two criteria shall be examined for dynamic effects of wind. may NOTE 1 - The fundamental time period (I) either be established by experimental observations on similar buildings or calculated by any rational method of analysis.

NOTE8 - Analytical methods for the response of dynamic structures to wind loading can be found in the following publications: i) Engineering Science Data, Wind Engineering Sub-Series ( 4 volumes ), London, ESDU International. ii) ‘Wind Engineering in the Eighties’, Construction Industry Research and Information Association, 1981, London. iii) ‘Wind Effects on Structures’ by E. Simiu and R.H. Scanlan, New York, John Wiley and Sons, 1978.

NOTE3 - CrossLwind motions may by due to lateral gustiness of the wind, unsteady wake flow (for shedding ), negative aerodynamic example, vortex damping or to a combination of these effects. These cross-wind motions, can become critical in the design of tall buildings/structures. NOTE 4 - Motions in the direction of wind (known also as buffeting) are caused by fluctuating wind force associated with gusts. The excitations depend on gust energy available at the resonant frequency.

a) Galloping - Galloping is transverse oscillations of some structures due to the development of aerodynamic forces which are in phase with the motion. It is characterized by the progressively increasing amplitude of transverse vibration with increase of wind speed. The cross-section which are particularly prone to this type of excitation include the following: i) All structures with non-circular cross-sections, such as triangular, square, polygons, as well as angles, crosses, and T-sections, ii) Twisted cables and cables with ice encrustations.

For a structure, the shedding frequency, 3 shall be determined by the following formula:

b) Flutter - Flutter is unstable oscillatory motion of a structure due to coupling between aerodynamic force and elastic deformation of the structure. Perhaps the’ most common form is oscillatory motion due to combined bending and torsion. Although oscillatory motions in each degree of frebdom may be damped, instability can set in due to energy transfer from one mode of oscillation to another, and the structure is seen to execute sustained or divergent oscilla-

NOTE 1 - Significant cross wind motions may be produced by vortex shedding if the natural frequency of the structure or structural element is equal to the frequency of the vortex shedding within the range of expected wind velocities. In such cases, further analysis should be carried out on the basis of references given in Note 8 of 7.1. welded steel chimney stacks NOTE 2 - Unlined and similar structures are prone to excitation by vortex shedding. NOTE 3 - Intensification of the effects of periodic vortex shedding has been reported in cases where two or more similar structures are located in close proximity. for example, at less than 20 b apart, where b is the dimension of the structure normal to the wind. NOTE 4 - The formulae given in 7.2.1(a) and (b) are valid for infinitely long cylindrical structures. The value of Sdecreases slowly as the ratio of length to maximum transverse width decreases; the reduction being up to about half the value, if the structure is only three times higher than its width. Vortex shedding need not be considered if the ratio of length to maximum transverse width is less than 2’0.

8.1 Application - Only the method of calculating load along wind or drag load by using gust factor method is given in the code since methods for calculating load across-wind or other components are not fully matured for all types of structures. However, it is permissible for a designer to use gust factor method to calculate all components of load on a structure using any available theory. However, such a theory must take into account the random nature of atmospheric wind speed.

wind speeds likely to be encountered. However, for objects of circular cross-section, it varies considerably.

D-1. The wind force on any object is given by:

F = Ct &AI where ci e force coefficient, A, P effective area of the object normal to the wind direction, and Pa p: design pressure of the wind.

For a circular section, the force coefficient depends upon the way in which the wind flows around it and’is dependent upon the velocity and kinematic’viscosity of the wind and diameter of the section. The force coefficient is usually quoted against a non-dimensional parameter, called the Reynolds number, which takes account of the

result, the force coefficient shows a rapid a critical value of Reynolds number, by a gradual rise as Reynolds number is still further.

The variation of Cr with parameter DVd is shown in Fig. 5 for infinitely long circular cylinders having various values of relative surface roughness ( t/D ) when subjected to wind having an intensity and scale of turbulence typical of built-up urban areas. The curve for a smooth cylinder ( t/D ) = 1 x 10-s in a steady airstream, as found in a low-turbulence wind tunnel, is shown for comparison.

The dependence of a circular section’s force coefficient or Reynolds number is due to the change in the wake developed behind the body. At a low Reynolds number, the wake is as shown in Fig. 16 and the force coefficient is typically 1.2. As Reynolds number is increased, the wake gradually changes to that shown in Fig. 17, that is, the wake width d, decreases and the separation point, S, moves from front to the back of tbe body.

It can be seen that the main effect of freestream turbulence is to decrease the critical value of the parameter D V a. For subcritical flows, turbulence can produce a considerable reduction in Cr below the steady air-stream values. For supercritical flows, this effect becomes significantly smaller. If the surface of the cylinder is deliberately roughened such as by incorporating flutes, rivetted construction, etc. then the data given in Fig. 5 for appropriate value of t/D > 0 shall be used.

CODEOFPRACTICE FOR DESIGNLOADS(OTHERTHANEARTHQUAKE) FORBUILDINGSAND STRUCTURES r. PART 4 SNOW LOADS (Second Revision) 0. F O R E W O R D 0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part4 ) ( Second Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on 9 November 1987, after the draft finalized by the Structural Safety Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.

committee in consultation with the Indian Meteorological Department. In addition to this, new clauses on wind loads for butterfly type structures were included; wind pressure coefficients for sheeted roofs, both curved and sloping, were modified; seismic load provisions were deleted ( separate code having been prepared ) and metric system of weights and measurements was adopted.

0.2 A building has to perform many functions satisfactorily. Amongst these functions are the utility of the building for the intended use and occupancy. structural safety, fire safety; and compliance with hygienic, sanitation, ventilation and daylight standards. The design of the building is dependent upon the minimum requirements prescribed for each of the above functions. The minimum requirements pertaining to the structural safety of buildings are being covered in this Code by way of laying down minimum design loads which have to be assumed for dead loads, imposed loads, wind loads, snow loads and other external loads, the structure would be required to bear. Strict conformity to loading standards recommended in this Code, it is hoped, will not only ensure the structural safety of the buildings which are being designed and constructed in the country and thereby reduce the hazards to life and property caused by unsafe structures, but also eliminate the wastage caused by assuming unnecessarily heavy loadings. Notwithstanding what is stated regarding the structural safety of buildings, the application of the provisions should be carried out by competent and responsible structural designer who would satisfy himself that the structure designed in accordance with this code meets the desired performance requirements when the same is carried out according to specifications.

0.3.1 With the increased adoption of the Code, a number of comments were received on the provisions on live load values adopted for different occupancies. Simultaneously live loads surveys have been carried out in America, Canada and other countries to arrive at realistic live loads based on actual determination of loading( movable and immovable ) in different occupancies. Keeping this in view and other developments in the field of wind engineering, the Sectional Committee responsible for the preparation of this standard has decided to prepare the second revision in the following five parts: Part 1 Dead Loads Part 2 Imposed Loads Part 3 Wind Loads Part 4 Snow Loads Part 5 Special Loads and Load Combinations Earthquake load is covered in IS : 1893-1984* which should be considered along with the above loads. 0.3.2 This part ( Part 4 ) deals with snow loads on roofs of buildings. The committee responsible for the preparation of the code while reviewing the available snow-fall data, felt the paucity of data on which to make specific recommendations on the depth of ground snow load for different regions effected by snow-fall, In due course the characteristic

0.3 This Code was first published in 1957 for the guidance of civil engineers, designers and architects associated with the planning and design of buildings. It included the provisions for the basic design loads ( dead loads, live loads, wind loads and seismic loads ) to be assumed in the design of buildings. In its first revision in 1964, the wind pressure provisions were modified on the basis of studies of wind phenomenon and its effects on structures undertaken by the special

4.1 General Principles In perfectly calm weather, falling snow would cover roofs and the ground with a uniform blanket of snow and the design snow load could be considerd as .a uniformly distributed load. Truly uniform loading conditions, however, are rare and have usually only been observed in areas that are sheltered on all sides by high trees, buildings, etc. In such a case, the shape coefficient would be equal to untiy. In most regions, snow falls are accompanied or followed by winds. The winds will redistribute the snow and on some roofs, especially multilevel roofs, the accumulated drift load may reach a multiple of the ground load. Roofs which are sheltered by other buildings, vegetation, etc, may collect more snow load than the ground level. The phenomenon is of the same nature as that illustrated for multilevel roofs in 4.2.4. So far sufficient data are not available to determine the shape coefficient in a statistical basis. Therefore, a nominal value is given. A representative sample of rcof is shown in 4.2. However, in special cases such as strip loading, cleaning of the roof periodically by deliberate heating of the roof, etc, have to be treated separately.

3. SNOW LOAD IN ROOF (S) 3.1 The minimum design snow load on a roof area or any other area above ground which is subjected to snow accumulation is obtained by multiplying the snow load on ground, s, by the shape coefficient CL, as applicable to the particular roof area considered.

The distribution of snow in the direction parallel to the eaves is assumed to be uniform.
