Wind Deisgn Speed in the Middle East
Wind Deisgn Speed in the Middle East
(OP)
We are working on the structural design for a conveyor system that will be setup in Qatar (small country in the Middle East). Our client gave us a number for the wind design speed but we need to confirm that it is accurate. Does anyone know how we can get this information?






RE: Wind Deisgn Speed in the Middle East
The Qatari government probably has some sort of Dept. of the Interior or something similar that may have data such as that. They may also have a national meteorlogical agency.
Try giving a call to the embassy or consulate to get started.
You might also ask your customer for the source of their data.
You might find a national university or something that may have data, too.

Peak Gust Velocity of 81 MPH or 36 M/S
It lists the same speeds for Saudi Arabia as well. I think it is a good place to start unless approved by some competent authority.
Qatar is a peninsula and I would say it is very close to Bahrain.

Please also be aware that Qatar is very hot and humid with a highly agressive atmosphere. Our designs have top specification paint systems and the concrete foundations were designed fro 0.1mm crack widths and were tanked to avoid contact with the ground.

it's the municipality Building Regulations but i think it's less than that in reality.
it's better to check with the muncipility there my be they have a referance speed.
