Wind Load

KB2408 — Mon, 22 Feb 2016 08:22:21 GMT

Hello all!

I'm working on designing a warehouse, which is located in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. For that, I chose "Frame 2D Design".

Code Combinations: BAEL 91

My question is:

How can I (by following these steps: Loads > Wind & Snow > Wind and Snow 2D & 3D) choose the region I want (Ivory Coast)?

Which "Snow/Wind Loads" code is appropriate?

The following data is given as well:

- Wind Zone 2

- Exposed Site: Coefficient 1.34

- The Building considered "Closed"

Thank you in advance,

Hi,

You have to set french wind/snow loads in the settings.

Cheers

I guess you should use for example lastest Snow & Wind French code previously to Eurocode, something like "NV65 02/09"
