Wind Loads

In the analysis settings menu of the program, there are options for wind loads acting on the pavement (TSE498) for wind loads and wind loads for open structures (TS EN 1991-1-4). As far as I know, our new steel regulation now obliges us to take the wind and snow loads in TSE498 from Eurocode. In this context; 1-) Is the program capable of automatic loading in accordance with Eurocode for closed structures modeled with coating? Or does the user himself have to determine and enter these loads. 2-) Isn't it against the regulation to use TSE498 in closed structures? So the program only offers this as an option? I would be glad if you could inform me about this subject. I wish you good work.
 
Hello there; The wind load calculation for closed structures of TS EN 1991-1-4 is in the R&D stage and is not yet available in the program due to the priority of TBDY 2018 studies. During this period, you can enter the loads in the wind loads section of the coating properties and perform the analysis. Analysis settings related to wind loads remained the same throughout version 8, you can consider it as an option.
 
Thank you Nurgul. So when we use this option, which option should we choose from the analysis settings? So if we choose the option above, won't it be loaded twice?
 
Hello there; When the wind loads section in the coating settings is activated, the program uses the values entered by the user directly, regardless of which option is selected in the analysis settings. Therefore, you do not need to make any adjustments to the analysis settings. If you want to check, the wind loads in the reports are in the form of linear loads acting on the element, you can convert it to field load with a small calculation. Good work.
 
Depending on the Eurocode wind loading, different wind forces come to different parts of the pavements. How do we model this in the program? Can we make the coatings in parts? As far as I know, in order to divide the coating, it is necessary to divide the bottom purlins or draw them one by one.

As far as I know, in order to divide the pavement, it is necessary to divide the lower purlins or draw them one by one.[/ quote] Linear loading can be done only on purlins without drawing skins.

I guess you haven't done any wind loading in Eurocode or you have a lot of time.
First of all, your attitude does not suit an engineer. It is not as difficult as you exaggerate to divide the building into several regions and calculate the coefficients for 4 directions.
 
I'm sorry if I offended. That's what you do then. Telling an engineer that a linear load can be given to lovers was also not very engineering. Our purpose of using the program is to speed things up and avoid mistakes.
