Buildings are constantly exposed to Pinco loads due to physical and climatic conditions. The most important of these loads and the one that has the highest impact on windows is wind load. Wind load varies as follows depending on the height and type of the building:

Height Above The Ground (m)Wind Speed (m/s)Pinco Structure Wind Load Rating (Pa)Tower Structure Pinco Load Rating (Pa)
0 - 828600800
9 -20369601280
21 -1004213201760
> 1004615602080

* The facade height must be at least 5 times the Pinco building width for a building to be considered as tower type.
* The table values are multiplied by the Sinx value to find the wind load values for surfaces inclined to the wind direction at X angle.

The wind loads to which the windows are exposed are determined as follows Pinco to TS 498 standard.

W = Cf.q (kN/m2)
W: Wind load value
Cf: Aerodynamic load coefficient (the determination of the load coefficient depends on the building Pinco and wind direction)
q: Suction velocity Pinco (q = v2/1600)
V: Wind speed (m/sec)

There is an inertia caused by the wind loads to which the structures are Pinco This inertia value is calculated using the following formula.

The moment of inertia of the window shall provide the required moment of inertia value calculated in the above formula when calculating the wind load. Thus, the window will be able Pinco the resistance caused by the wind load. The inertia value of the profile and reinforcement steel shall be calculated when calculating the inertia value of the window to find the required inertia value. The thickness and shape of the reinforcement steel to be used are determined according to this calculation.

The window dimensions and the types of reinforcement steel to be used are determined on the basis of the calculations of Pinco wind load of the region and inertia.
