In principle, this paragraph mainly concerns chimneys, refrigerants, towers for industrial use, horizontal or vertical tanks, and high masts.
The wind is assumed to act perpendicular to one face for three- or four-sided prisms, and perpendicular to the maximum master torque for other constructions.
For these constructions the dimension ratio is :
