Wind loads on vertical members
(OP)
Designing support for a sculpture, which consists of a 20-ft tall W12 by something with a few items hanging off of the W-shape. I couldn't find a drag coefficient for an I-section in AASHTO, but based on my fluid flow text, I suspect it would be approximately 2.3 +/-.
Ideas?

There's a table on page 45, with coefficients,from previous research, based upon width/depth ratios.
