This is the second part of a three-part Digest giving guidance on the use of Eurocode 1 (BS EN 1991-1-4). This Digest is aimed at engineers, architects and other professionals who need to understand how to calculate the effect of wind on buildings and design options to minimise it. Wind loads on bridges are not covered in this Digest.
Part 2 of this Digest demonstrates the calculation procedure for determining wind loads and includes example calculations for a two-storey house and a 120 m residential tower on a two-storey (8 m) podium. Part 1 gives advice and guidance on the use of BS EN 1991-1-4 and Part 3 gives an example calculation of dynamic response using the full dynamic method given in BS EN 1991-1-4 Annex B for inwind response in the fundamental mode. This update to Part 2 replaces the guidance published in 1999.
In this Digest we will refer to BS EN 1991-1-4 as the ‘EN’, the UK National Annex to BS EN 1991-1-4 as the ‘NA’ and PD 6688-1-4 as the ‘PD’.
