Pipe Rack Longitudinal Wind Loads
Pipe Rack Longitudinal Wind Loads
(OP)
Fellow Engineers,
For multi-level pipe rack design, does anyone know how to calculate the longitudinal wind loads (This can be quit significant). Same thing for long conveyor belt trusses that spann between bents. I have no problem with the lateral wind load calculations.
Thanks for the help in advance
