WInd & Snow Load Calulation

The document provides equations and tables for calculating wind load on pipes according to ASCE#7-02. It gives the equation for calculating pressure (Qz) as a function of wind velocity, shape factors, importance factor, exposure coefficient and elevation. Two tables then show sample calculations of pressure at different elevations for a wind velocity of 45m/s and provide pressure values ranging from 0.01 to 0.014 bar. A further table gives pipe properties and calculates uniform distributed load and pressure for different pipe sizes.
