Special Digest 5 Wind loads on unclad structures
Publication Year
2004

Abstract
Much of the current guidance in the UK for wind loads on frames, lattice structures and individual members is based on British Standard Code of Practice CP3: Chapter V: Part 2 (withdrawn - superseded by BS 6399-2), which gave force coefficients for a range of unclad structures. This Digest provides up-to-date guidance on designing lattice structures and individual members for wind loading. Wind loads calculated using the methods outlined are characteristic loads to which the appropriate partial load factors defined in the relevant design codes must be applied.
