ICE loads
ICE LOAD AND CONCURRENT WIND LOAD
1. ASCE 10.4.1: Ice load shall be determined using the weight of glaze ice form on all expose surfaces of the structural members
2. Cross section of ice on structural shape, prismatic members, and other similar shapes, shall be
Ai = p td (Dc + td)
Where
3. For large plate, and large three-Dimentional objects such as domes and sphere, volume of ice shall be determined as
Vi = p td As
Vi can be multiply by 0.8 for vertical plate, 0.6 for horizontal plate.
4. Ice density is 56 lb/ft3 minimum.
5. Normal ice thickness, t, due to freezing rain at a height of 33 ft and the concurrent wind speed is determined from Figure 10-2, 10-3, and 10-4 on
ASCE 7-02.
8. Topographic Factor,
Kzt = (1+K1+K2+K3)2 where K1, K2, K3 are determined from Figure 6-4 of ASCE 7-02.
td = 2 t Ii fz (Kzt)0.35
4. Parameters for calculating wind on ice-covered Chimney, Tanks, and similar structures are the same as those in Table 6-19 except that
DÖqz shall be used for all round cross section.
5. Calculation of wind on ice-covered solid freestanding walls and solid signs are the same as those in Table 6-10.
Kz = 2.01 (z/zg)2/a
where z is height above ground, z shall not be less than 15 ft. except that z shall not be
less than 30 ft for exposure B for low rise building and for component and cladding.
Expsoure a zg (ft)
B 7.0 1200
C 9.5 900
D 11.5 700
6. Parameters for calculating wind on ice-covered open signs and lattice frameworks are the same as those in Table 6-21 except that
DÖqz shall be used for all round cross section. The solidity ratio shall be based on the projected area including ice.
7. Parameters for calculating wind on ice-covered trussed towers are the same as those in Table 6-22. The solidity ratio shall be based on the
projected area including ice.
Design Procedure:
1. Determine normal ice thickness and concurrent wind speed from Figure 10-2,10-3, 10-4, or a site-specific study.
2. Determine topographic factor, Kzt.
3. Determine importance factor, Ii.
4. Determine height factor, fz.
5. Determine design ice thickness, td.
6. Determine weight of ice.
7. Determine wind parameter Kz and Kd.
8. Determine velocity pressure, qz = 0,00256 Kz Kzt Kd Vc2 Ii.
9. Determine force coefficient, Cf.
10. Determine gust effect factor G.
11. Determine wind pressure, p = qz G Cf.
12. Determine wind force, F = p A, where A is projection area including ice cover.
