Abstract

Gives the calculation procedure for determining wind loads using the full dynamic method from Annex B of BS EN 1991-1-4. It includes an example calculation for determining the dynamic response of a 128 m tall building. The main changes from the existing guidance on the superseded BS 6399-2 is that the Eurocode covers buildings and civil engineering works and has a more comprehensive approach to dynamic response, including vortex shredding and other aerodynamic instabilities.
