Wind Load Calculation
Wind force is given by F = Cp Ae Pz
Choice of Cf [[Link] and Table 24]
Here, b =1 km(approx), h= 3 m, b/h >160
Since wall is on ground Cf = 2

Forces at Base
Bending moment due to barbed wire and wall. = 10633.1069
Total Shear at base = 6.51317914
Calculation of stresses at base
Total Weight of masonary at base = 22.6044
Bending stress caused by vertical bending produced at base on
extreme edge = 6M/bd2
= 0.53601043
Compressive stress due to weight at base = P/A
= 0.06552
Maximum tensile stress at extreme fibre for vertical bending = -0.4704904
Check for tensile stress
According to [Link] of IS 1905:1980 Code of practice for
structural safety of buildings: Masonry walls (second revision),
permissible tensile stress for freestanding vertical walls in
vertical bending is 0.07 N/mm2. However, the tensile stress at
base of wall at ground level amounts to 0.3 N/mm2, therefore,
exceeds the permissible value. The base width of wall is to be
increased for tensile stress design. The thickness of wall at
various heights is given by:
t = h x Sqrt(4808.78
Thus
t at height 1m from top = 0.21011797
t at height 1.5m from top = 0.29854315
t at height 2m from top = 0.37905655
t at height 3m from top = 0.52201547
