Hi Ron,
I must say Stockpile cover, like the structure showed in attachment.

Hi, does anyone know any reference that give you wind pressure coefficients for conical structures with approximately 40º slope?
The structure is a stockpile, and I reviewed many codes of Wind Load, without success.
Thanks in advance.
You have all the reason, dear JStephen.
0.4 factor comes from a simplification of SRSS method, which take in account what you said about maximum lateral and vertical acceleration are not likely to happen at the same instant:
Considering Cv = 0.7 Ch,
sqrt(Ch^2+Cv^2) = Ch sqrt(1 + 0.7^2)= Ch *...
Dear coelleagues,
I'm writing to find an answer about the meaning of a note in E.6.2.1.2 : "If the ratio of operating pressure to design pressure exceeds 0.4, the purchaser should consider specifying a higher factor on design".
I always thought that note refers to the factor 0.4 that multiplies...
