Second of a three-part Digest giving brief guidance on the use of BS 6399-2. Part 1 gives advice and guidance on implementing BS 6399-2 and suggests certain options. This Part demonstrates the recommended options by example calculations for the case of a two-storey timber framed house. Part 3 gives example calculations for a further two building types: a steel portal-framed building, and a 15-storey office tower surrounded by a two-storey podium. This Digest is aimed at architects, engineers and professionals who need to know the effect of wind on buildings, and design options that minimise it.
