    The document provides windload anchorage recommendations for Therflow Cooling Towers TFR-80 model. It includes calculations to determine the cylinder wind force of 7406.74 lbs based on wind speed, height, shape, and other factors. It then calculates the required anchoring force of 2061.15 lbs based on the cylinder wind force and tower information. It recommends using 1/2" grade 2 bolts placed as indicated in the cooling tower submittal package, noting that independent calculations were performed and selections for anchoring force and tension strength requirements pass.

    Base on air density Q air at 20 and sea level atmospheric pressure is 1.21 kg/m 3, time averaged surface pressure is proportional to wind velocity pressure P V is: PV = Qair. U2/2 where U is the wind velocity At U = 160 MPH (72m/s)
    2 PV = 1.21(72) /2 = 3136 Pa

    Average wind force = 3136 /9.81 = 320 kg/m

    TFR-80 Force on cooling tower with a face area less than (101.10 ft 2) 9.39m2 9.39m x 320 kg/m 3005.6 kg Tower footing design = 3800 kg Tower structure design = 4200 kg Note: 1. Instantaneous pressure may vary significantly above and below these averages and peak pressure two or three times the mean values are possible. 2. Actual force transmitted to cooling tower will depend on surface roughness of the cooling tower. Other correction factors such as exposure coefficient, wind directionality, gust effect factor and force coefficient etc might need to be used in the determinaiton of the actual wind forces.
