Dear all,
I am trying to calculate the distribution of wind loads on a frame in an RC structure. I am yet to find a good guide on how to calculate this distribution by hand calculations. I have calculated the dynamic wind pressure using CP3 Chapter V (yes we are still using those in my country) and i wanted to distribute this pressure onto the frames in the structure in the Y direction.
I have been bombarded by informations such as centre of Mass and centre of Rigidity of the structure, etc etc, but have not been able to really make a sense out of it all.
KINDLY do let me know of any materials that could be used as a guide to be able to transform this dynamic pressure into a equivalent point load or UDl acting on a frame.
