TS 498:2021 – Wind Load Calculation for Facades

Sample TS 498 Wind Load Report

As Beus Facade, we provide facade consulting and facade engineering services for building owners, contractors, and architects. According to the TS 498:2021 standard, we calculate facade wind loads or review existing projects by determining pressures based on height zones, wind speed, terrain roughness, and individual element factors. These studies are used for preliminary assessment of structural resistance in curtain wall and aluminium facade systems, as well as engineering verification before installation.

Note: In TS 498:2021, wind pressure for individual facade elements is increased by 1/4 (q × 1.25).

Disclaimer: This calculator is intended for preliminary design under TS 498:2021. Final design must be checked by a competent engineer according to relevant standards.
