Digest 346 Part 4 Assessment of wind loads: Terrain and building factors and gust peak factors
Publication Year
1992
Document Status
Current
Abstract
Compatible with the proposed British Standard BS 6399: Part 2. It uses the 'full' method of the British Standard to derive the appropriate gust wind speeds to be used for the design of 'static and mildly dynamic' structures (as defined in Part 2) from the site hourly mean wind speed (derived in Part 3). A more accurate assessment of gust speeds can be obtained from the use of the BRE computer program STRONGBLOW.
