Wind load on circular cylinders (force
coefficient)
Description:
Calculation of wind load action effects on circular cylinder elements. The total horizontal wind force is
calculated from the force coefficient corresponding to the overall effect of the wind action on the
cylindrical structure or cylindrical isolated element
According to:
EN 1991-1-4:2005+A1:2010 Section 7.9.2
Applicable for:
Cylindrical structures, isolated cylindrical elements
Supported
National
Annexes:
Α) Calculation of force coefficients: Apart from countries that adopt CEN recommended values for
sections 7.9.2 and 7.13 of EN1991-1-4, the following National Annexes are supported: Croatia. B) Peak
velocity pressure: The value of the peak velocity pressure can be specified manually. Otherwise
automatic calculation of peak velocity pressure is supported, in addition to countries that adopt the
CEN recommended values for NDPs, also for the following National Annexes: Finland, Portugal. The
National Annexes of Germany, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland are NOT supported (enter peak
velocity pressure manually).
