What: Wind loading according to BS
EN1991-1-4- 2005 & UK National Annex
Why: Gaining Knowledge and sharing it
How: through presentation/ worked
examples
After: you can calculate wind peak
pressure by hand, know about the
different coefficients, used terminology,
know the UK National determinate
Parameters (N.D.P)
SCOPE OF BS EN 1991-1-1-4 2005 WIND & NA
4
Give guidance on determination of wind
actions for building structures and civil
works.
Applicable for buildings and civil
structures up to 200 meters.
Applicable for bridges having no span
greater than 200 meters (with some
criteria bases on dynamic response).
Some structures are excluded from this
Eurocode part 1-4.
FLOW CHARTS FOR PEAK VELOCITY PRESSURE

NA includes 2 useful flow
charts.
fig. A. NA.1 (Country terrain)

Presentation layout will be
based on these charts with
some worked examples.
BASIC WIND VELOCITY PRESSURE: QB

country terrain, in a period of
10 minutes
Correction factors: C

taken eq. to 1
