Procedure 2 for determining the structural factor D. Structural factors for different types of structures E. Vortex shedding and aeroelastic instabilities F. Dynamic characteristics of structures

4 Section 1 General 1.1 Scope Brussels, February 2008 Dissemination of information workshop 4 (2) This Part is applicable to: - Buildings and civil engineering works with heights up to 200 m - Bridges having no span greater than 200 m, provided that they satisfy the criteria for dynamic response (3) This part is intended to predict characteristic wind actions on land-based structures, their components and appendages

5 Section 1 General 1.1 Scope Brussels, February 2008 Dissemination of information workshop 5 Draft corrigendum to EN : January 2008 (11) Guyed masts and lattice towers are treated in EN and lighting columns in EN 40 (12) This part does not give guidance on the following aspects: - torsional vibrations, e.g. tall buildings with a central core - bridge deck vibrations from transverse wind turbulence - wind actions on cable supported bridges - vibrations where more than the fundamental mode needs to be considered

6 Section 2 Design situations Brussels, February 2008 Dissemination of information workshop 6 (1)P The relevant wind actions shall be determined for each design situation identified in accordance with EN 1990, 3.2. (2) Traffic, snow and ice (3) Execution (4) Where in design windows and doors are assumed to be shut under storm conditions, the effect of these being open should be treated as an accidental design situation

7 Section 3 Modelling of wind actions Brussels, February 2008 Dissemination of information workshop Nature 3.2 Representations of wind actions 3.3 Classification of wind actions (1) Unless otherwise specified, wind actions should be classified as variable fixed actions 3.4 Characteristic values (1) Note: All coefficients or models, to derive wind actions from basic values, are chosen so that the probability of the calculated wind actions does not exceed the probability of these basic values 3.5 Models

For regions where it is likely that it may become very cold and stratified flow condition may occur (e.g. in coastal areas in Northern Europe), approach 2 may be used.
