Airport Wind Loads
Airport Wind Loads
(OP)
Is there any special wind load provisions necessary at airport facility structures due to jetwash or rotor wash from helicopters? I haven't seen or found anything. Any military specs maybe??

Some of the elements in the proximity of the runways and taxiways (signage, blast fences) may have design wind (jet wash) speed in excess of the regular local code, until it requires 200mph.
