good day every one
4
i have simple structure it is smll war house with dimensions 9.6x4 and Hight is 6m
it has one wall side fully opened 9.6x6=57.6m2
other openings in other walls = 9.6*2.1+4*2.1*2=40m2

my question is
is this structure classified as opened or partially enclosed?

and if wind hit the structure in direction of opened wall shall i consider opened structure in this direction
 
If you're using ASCE 7, then look at the definitions of Open, Partially Open, Partially Enclosed, and Enclosed. These are in Chapter 26.
 
you may also need to see an ASCE publication about petrochem structures where there is specific coeff recommendation on the condition you mentioned.
