Base wind pressure adjustment
Base wind pressure adjustment
(OP)
Good day everyone!
I have to apply wind load on the bridge I'm designing using AASHTO LRFD 2012.
The problem is that the base wind pressures on the code are based on a 100mph wind velocity (160kph).
The area I'm designing it for has 200kph wind velocity, so the table would be inaccurate to use.
How do I adjust the base wind pressures that I would use for 200kph? It would be great if you can refer me to a reference.
Thank you very much!
