Wind loads on unclad structures

Summary: This digest provides up to date guidance on designing lattice structures and individual members for wind loading. The design guidance for this digest is based on information from BS6399-2, EN 1991-1-4 and other relevant sources as appropriate. Much of the current guidance in the UK for wind loads in frames, lattice structures and individual members is based in British Standard Code of Practice CP3: Chapter V: Part 2. This Standard, which was withdrawn in October 2001, gave force coefficients (measured in smooth uniform flow) for a range of unclad structures, including single and multiple frames, lattice structures and individual members. CP3-V has now been superseded by BS6399-2, which is principally applicable to buildings and their components and therefore it includes only limited information on structural members and unclad structures. Filed in BRE digest box after BRE digest 486.
