Consideration of wind load on rectangular containers?
Thread Content
Now, consider designing a larger rectangular container to be placed on the roof. Should wind loads be taken into account? The dimensions are 16m in length, 4m in width, and 6m in height. If wind loads are to be considered, how should they be calculated? Thank you
When placing on the roof, wind loads need to be considered based on the relative height above the ground level
Can that software be used to calculate the stability of containers?
1. The water pressure at 6 meters is much higher than the wind pressure; if it can withstand water pressure, then there will be no problem with wind pressure as well. 2. Atmospheric pressure rectangular containers do not have the problem of instability.
The magnitude of wind load can be determined through static calculations; for specific details, refer to the GB50009-2012 Code for Loads on Building Structures
