Wind Load on a Circular Storage Bin
Wind Load on a Circular Storage Bin
(OP)
I am designing the support structure for a circular storage bin that is 54 ft. in diameter and 100 feet tall. Which provision in ASCE 7-05 should be used to calculate the wind load on the bin: Section 6.5.12.2.1 Rigid Buildings of All Heights (using Kd=0.95); or 6.5.15 Design of Wind Loads on Other Structures?

Can he get any "ground shielding" credit for lower wind speeds on the bottom of the round structure?
