6. Wind effects on openwork and lattice constructions
6.1 Flat elements
Examples include openwork panels and lattice girders. They can be single or multiple. Wind action on these structures depends on :

with S p area of solid parts assumed to be evenly distributed,
S total surface area of the element assumed to be solid ;
for structures of this type exposed to the elements, the ϕ coefficient can be significantly modified by the presence...
