Greetings

In the UK, code for wind loading is CP3, Chapter V, part 2:1972: Data is shown for rectangular and circular structures exposed to wind.

Pitch roof data is only shown for rectangular buildings.

Any one any ideas, as to loading factors to 15° sloping
conical roof - as in top of cylindrical vessel?

Many thanks
