Eurocde load combination for lateral deflection due to wind

[Bubik]

Hi everyone,

I am not used to Eurocode as I design mostly in BS. However, I wonder what Eurocode SLS combination with wind do you guys use to check lateral deflection of a portal frame at eaves( due to wind). In BS I always do 1.5 wind + 1.0 Dead..what about in Eurocode?

Many thanks!!

Hi, in Eurocode deflections are calculated for unfactored loads (see EN 1990. §5.6.3). So, it must be DL + Wind.

deflection is a SLS check so why would you factor it? Either in BS or Eurocode. Unless your talking about global stability which is differnt. and why are you still designing to BS anyway? its been withdrawn years ago, shouldnt you be using eurocode?
