<h4>Simplified wind net pressure coefficients for the design of portal frames</h4>

Simplified wind net pressure coefficients for the design of portal frames

When using the wind Code CP 3 Chapter 5 Part 2, the traditional method of designing purlins, side rails and main portal frames consists of ignoring localised wind pressure coefficients. This is based, in part, on recommendations given by the UK steel design codes, which state that localised pressures do not need to be considered for the design of purlins and side rails. The introduction of the new wind Code BS 6399 Part 2 has led to a change in the pressure coefficients to be used in design. These new coefficients have been derived from full-scale measurements on buildings and an improved understanding of wind behaviour. This paper compares the coefficients given by the new and old codes, and discusses the validity of ignoring the localised pressures. Equivalent, but conservative, sets of uniform net pressure coefficients are also presented, based on the new coefficients given in BS 6399 Part 2. These new coefficients simplify the calculation procedure and can be used for the design of the cladding, purlins, side rails and main structural frames. It is shown that if these simplified coefficients are used, the specification of the cladding, together with the number and layout of purlins and side rails, will not significantly change from current design practice using CP3 Chapter 5 Part 2.

<h4>Parametric calibration of BS6399-2:1997 - wind loads on rails and purlins</h4>

Parametric calibration of BS6399-2:1997 - wind loads on rails and purlins

This paper compares the wind loads on rails and purlins derived from BS 6399 Loading for buildings, Part 2 Code of practice for wind loads 1997 against the previous practice defined by CP 3-V-2:1972. Any changes introduced by the 2001 amendment to BS 6399-2:1997 are included. The calibration compares the implementation rules and values of internal and external pressure coefficient, including an earlier calibration of dynamic pressures1, to calibrate the effective design loads on the rails and purlins.
