EN 1991-1-4

Hi all,

I'm having trouble finding instructions on how to combine multidirectional wind loads according to EC.

I have my windx and windy (wind in main directions x and y of my building). But in my sense of logic these should be combined with 1.0*windx+0.6*windy or similar. However i can't find the clause describing this.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks in advance!

Are you looking for standard EN 1991-1-4 or do you have it? If needed, have a look here:

I have it. I just can't find what I am looking for.

I need a clause describing the combination of directional wind loads to 'diagonal' loads.
