Hello everyone, I need help calculating wind loads on a lattice structure.
It's a 40cm x 100cm tower, 5m tall. What would be the best way to calculate wind loads on this structure?
The tower has sheet metal on all sides except the top.
Sorry for my english, its not my first lenguage.

Your dimensions are metric system . If the applicable codes are Eurocodes ,
You should look
- BS EN 1993-3-2: Design of steel structures ,Part 3-2: Towers, masts and chimneys

- For wind actions : EN 1991-1-4.
