Wind Loads
Wind Loads
(OP)
My subject is : computation of wind forces on complex structures.
My first "complex structure" is a jetty with road and few piperacks.
Some codes (Australian Standard, NV65 ) are dealing with a shielding effect of one lattice plane to the successive ones against cross wind.
But there is nothing about this in Eurocode.
My goal is to find a way to introduce this "shielding effect" with Eurocode parameters because they wanted to know if that effect would have an important influence on the concrete support design.
Second question : Eurocode treats with -x-axe wind and -y-axe wind. How should I consider an askew wind ? simply by decomposing it ?
Have you got some informations about those question? some good articles ?
PS: My company doesn t use any software that can calculate wind on structures.
Thank you very much for your answers, that could help me a lot. (I hope you'll understand my poor english)
