Wind Load

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.

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