    ASCE 7 - 16 - Wind Load on PT Concrete Tank

    Actually, I found procedure for determining external pressure coefficients in ASCE 7 -16, chapter 30.12.(for components and claddings - tank wall & roof pressures). In my opinion, these should be used to determine wind loads on 3D models. When we talk about cylinder structures, constant...

    ASCE 7 - 16 - Wind Load on PT Concrete Tank

    ASCE 7 standard gives equation for wind force: F=qz×G×Cf×Af, where area Af is structure's projection perpendicular to the force (that is Af=diameter x height). However I am not certain how to apply this force on my 3D model, logic dictates that, as per this code, you can apply it as pressure...
