Comparative Study on Basic Wind Speed and the Main Parameters of Ground Motions in China and Bangladesh

Key words: 
• basic wind speed /
• mean recurrence interval /
• time interval /
• parameters of ground motions /
• peak ground acceleration

Abstract: The same and different points of basic wind speed were obtained after analyzing the elements of basic wind speed such as category of ground surface roughness, standard height, mean recurrence interval, time interval etc. in Chinese code and Bangladesh code. Based on comparison and analysis results of basic wind speed, further discussion was made to the conversion of basic wind speed in the two different codes. Furthermore, by the comparison and analysis between the seismic design codes of China and Bangladesh about peak ground acceleration, exceedance probability, the seismic fortification objective of buildings etc., the conversion relationships between the parameters of ground motions in Chinese code and Bangladesh code are proposed to provide. Hope to give some reference for wind load and seismic design of overseas projects in the future.
