Wind Load Effect on Closely Spaced Vertical Vessels

Wind Load Effect on Closely Spaced Vertical Vessels

Wind Load Effect on Closely Spaced Vertical Vessels

(OP)
Is anyone aware of requirements in ASCE 7 to increase the wind load due to closely spaced vertical vessels (towers, stacks) of similar shape and height? I know other codes (international and some mechanical) do have a factor based on the C/C distance of the vessels but haven't found anything in ASCE that addresses this. Thanks.

RE: Wind Load Effect on Closely Spaced Vertical Vessels

See 6.5.1 Item 2 and 6.5.2 in ASCE 7-05, I assume it's similar in other versions.
