Summary: Helps the reader to understand the new approach to wind loading used in the Eurocode. Eurocode 1 for wind actions, BS EN 1991-1-4, replaces BS 6399-2, which was withdrawn in 2010. The scope of BS EN 1991-1-4 is much wider than BS 6399-2: where BS 6399-2 was limited to building structures and mildly dynamic response, BS EN 1991-1-4 includes buildings and civil engineering works and a more comprehensive approach to dynamic response, including vortex shedding and other aerodynamic instabilities. There are a number of significant differences between these standards, particularly with respect to dynamic response.
