Wind Pressure
Reference Code : SS EN 1991-1-4 : 2009 & NA to SS EN 1991-1-4 : 2009
For sharp edged structural members the shape factor (c f ) is adopted as 2.0 (Cl. 7.7 from SS EN 1991-1-4:2009)
For pipes or circular members of finite length, the coefficient for the shape (c f,0 ) is adopted as 1.2
(Fig 7.28, clause 7.9.2 (3), Same as Stranded cables)
For members, wind load intensity = P w x (Dimension of member blocking the wind) x Shape factor
For pipes/conduits, wind load intensity = P w x (Largest diameter of pipe blocking the wind + 10% of piperack/tier)
x Coefficient for shape
