Aerodynamic Loading on a Cooling Tower.
Aerodynamic Loading on a Cooling Tower.
(OP)
I am trying to find some information on dynamic loading (fan) on a cooling tower structure . Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Thank you,

or the internal airflow ?
or the external wind loading ?

You should be looking at an overturning moment, rather than a weight, I think, but, you never stated whether the fan force was acting vertically or horizontally. the equation in the cite is already in force, assuming units usage is correct. Division by g to get force is not correct.

flow rate ... ft3/min ? ton/min ??
if ft3/min, well that is area*v (yes?) ... what you want is pressure*A = 1/2*rho*v2*A ... yes?
torque should affect the reactions as well ... some of the motor torque goes into the airflow (as swirl) but some is reacted by the fan supports.
