Wind Load Calc As Per Eurocode

This document discusses wind load calculations for buildings according to European standards EN 1994-1-4 and SCI P394. It outlines two methods for calculating wind loads - the force coefficient method and vectorial summation method - and references wall pressure coefficients for rectangular buildings according to standard BS 6399-2-1997. Additional details on checking orography and calculation of wind pressure coefficients qp and qp(o) are provided.

Wind loads

EN 1994-1-4 and SCI P394


For a building at least 16.7m high
Stage 12-17 Check if orography is significant, if not proceed with qp else use qp(o)
Two methods for wind loads (BS 6399 terminology):
Force coefficient method (directional method [sec. 3])
Vectorial summation method (standard method [sec. 2])
Wall pressure coefficients for rectangular building
BS 6399-2-1997
