Hello there; No matter how much I increase the basic dimensions in the totem sign calculation I am doing, it does not remain on the reliable side in the overturning investigation. Am I making a mistake somewhere? Can you help with the right design?
 
Hello there; In your model, you need to use a coating to affect the wind loads on the system. You have modeled composite flooring. Since there is a rigid diaphragm in the structure, tipping verification is performed, but you see inaccurate values as a result of incorrect modelling. There are loads that do not affect your structure, so I made your coating entry. In the analysis settings section, your settings in the wind load section have been changed to TS 498 tower type. Or, if you want to calculate the wind for open structures with Eurocode, you should read the coefficient values suitable for your structure from TS EN 1991-1-4 for the cs and cd coefficients. In new condition, you have 2 steel beams that do not provide pmm ratio, make the necessary checks. Good work.
 
In addition to Ms. Nurgül, you have entered the profiles in the totem as multi-part, reduce them a little bit, enter some of them as one piece, and you will get more accurate results.
