Stan,
Thanks. Thanks a lot for your valuable information. I checked, the wind pressure by changing Global Scalar for WI loads. Obviously, stress due to combined loads is increasing wherever the Wind load and wind moment facor is considered in the load cases and deflection due to wind is also increased.
Thank you once again and let me know where I can find the wind pressure applied except Input echo of the PVElite results.
While running the calculation, the input echo shows only the applied wind pressure (Not multiplied by global scalar values) and stress due to combined load area the load cases shown as NP+EW+WI+FW+BW, NP+EW+EQ+FS+BS, etc only. I mean the Wind data are not shown as multiplied by factor given by us. Hence, it is difficult to convince client & Authorized Inspector.(I Believe only option is to edit the value indicated in Input echo of PVElite results). If you know any other way to come out, please let me know.
One more clarification Mr. Stan, experts in PVElite are saying the for blast load analysis we have to consider blast load as external pressure (For example my blast load 70 kPa to be applied as external pressure)and in wind details we have to add the same with wind pressure(Here 70kPa Blast load + 2kPa actual wind pressure). In my opinion, this is very conservative. Can you put your comments?
Thanks & Regards,
Jayakumar.
