Wind direction effects on cladding and structural loads
Abstract A simple procedure is proposed for estimating wind loads corresponding to various return periods, which takes into account directional information on both wind speeds and aerodynamic response. Examples of the application of the procedure are given, which show that cladding loads calculated without taking directional information on extreme wind speeds into account may in certain cases be larger than the actual loads by a factor of two or more. It is also shown that it is not appropriate, in general, to account for wind direction effects by multiplying loads determined without regard for these effects by a reduction factor of 0.8, as has been suggested in the literature. In its present form, the procedure is applicable to cladding panels and to members of relatively rigid structures in regions not subjected to hurricane winds.
