Dear all,
I am designing a foundation for a mast using EN1992 but I used ASCE 7-5 (as indicated in local standards) in estimating the wind load. My question;
1)Is there any rule for consistency in using codes for design?
2)If I am using EN1992 do I have to use Eurocodes throughout my design or I can use say ASCE 7-5 for my wind load calculation then use EN1992 for my foundation design?
