Calculation of the Projected Area normal to Wind, Af

(Figure of Tower with dimension)

b1 =6
b1 =6 +2(0.25) = 6.5
Af1 =1/2 (b1+b2)h = 7.8125 m2

b1=6.5
b1=6.5 + 2 (0.5) = 7.5
Af2=1/2 (b1+b2)h = 17.5 m2

b1=7.5
b1=7.5 + 2(0.5) = 8.5
Af3=1/2 (b1+b2)h = 20 m2

b1=8.5
b1=8.5 + 2 (0.53) =9.56
Af4=1/2 (b1+b2)h = 28.9295 m2

Gross Area
Ag = 7.8125 + 17.5 + 20 + 28.9295 = 69.2421 m2
