BS6399-2 - Wind load for overhead tank

BS6399-2 - Wind load for overhead tank

BS6399-2 - Wind load for overhead tank

(OP)
I am designing a concrete frame structures, 2x3 columns, total height is 6m with stagging at 3m. The concrete platform at 6m above ground level will support plastic tanks (used for water storage) I am not sure which section of BS6399 is applicable for calculations of wind load on the concrete frame, could some body advise on the pressure coefficients and equations/tables of BS6399 that I should use to calculate the wind load. Thanks

NB: I know that BS6399 has been withdrawn. but would like to know if somebody has worked with this standard. If not, could anybody advise on the relevant sections from ASCE07 or European Codes for the above mentioned problem. Thanks

RE: BS6399-2 - Wind load for overhead tank

NEN-EN 1991-1-4, 5.3 chapter -> gives formula

NEN-EN 1991-1-4, chapter 4.5 -> gives thrust wind

NEN-EN 1991-1-4, chapter 7 -> gives pressure coefficients
