Wind load on Steel towers supporting elevators
Wind load on Steel towers supporting elevators
(OP)
I believe pals in this forum have done this many times before
A steel braced tower 300ft high, with platforms and stairs and an elevator. The elevator occupies a very small area in plan, and so are stairs. Platforms are service platforms only to help erect and maintennance of the elevator.
What wind load should be used in this condition. Full tower face based value tend to be very conservative.

RE: Wind load on Steel towers supporting elevators
it depends on the top of the tower, the requirements to overcome the overturninig will overpass any side wind loadings, therefore use transparent stairs and platforms and elevator to minimise wind loads, structural tube steel members for the tower will be governed by overturning rather than wind loads i believe.....
