DIG 436 Part 3 Determining wind actions using Eurocode 1: worked examples – calculation of forces on a tower using the full dynamic method
I think the Eurocode uses 10 minutes as a reference velocity then uses a turbulence factor to bring that up to the peak velocity. The Aus code uses the gust velocity as the reference velocity so saves one calculation stage with similar result. Eurocode also uses a load factor to scale up...
The cross-flow dimensions of the upright and beam sections considered in this example are reported in Table 4. Table 4. Summary of the input data and results for the calculation of the wind design load. γQ is the partial factor for variable actions. H(m)l(m)Dupright(m)Dbeam(m)n(-...
The NBCC provisions for wind load calculation requires the LFRS of a fixed-base building to respond elastically under ULS winds. This is a conservative approach that neglects the system overstrength and its inherent ductility. Athanasiou et al. [36] introduced a wind reduction factor (RW = ...
The sensors might include, for example: r an anemometer; r a wind vane; r at least one rotor speed sensor; r an electrical power sensor; r accelerometers; r load sensors; r pitch position sensors; r various limit switches; r vibration sensors; ...
In the formula, C is the wind load shape coefficient for overall calculation; 2n is the number of sides of the gas tank body. For calculating the wind pressure shape coefficient of large oil storage tanks, researchers typically use wind tunnel tests and fit the test data using Fourier series...

Stresses resulting from the dead weight of the tube and the load application system were determined before any load application and finally consid- ered in the calculation of the loads for the cyclic test. For the detection of crack initiation, the deviation of the strain measurements of the ...
The calculation of SFGMNIA,imp is illustrated here on the critical LBA eigenmodes for both load cases as they are qualitatively very different. The variables introduced here are summarised in Table 5. It should also be noted that the scaling factor SFGMNIA,imp applied to the eigenmode shape ...
For this reason, some load estimation should always be expected. On the other hand, it cannot be excluded that the Ka values from forced vibration experiments also include some uncertainty. For example, the actual Ka maxima might have happened for a ratio V/Vcr, which has not been exactly ...
