hello
how should I apply wind pressure on internal wall according to eurocode 1991 ? considering the building is enclosed or in other words no dominant face is present

- Copy and paste of Clause 5.3 .3 Wind forces
(3) The wind force, Fw acting on a structure or a structural element may be determined by vectorial
summation of the forces Fw,e, Fw,i and Ffr calculated from the external and internal pressures using
Expressions (5.5) and (5.6) and the frictional forces resulting from the friction of the wind parallel to the
external surfaces, calculated using Expression (5.7).

- Figure 5.1 Gives the Pressure on surfaces as per wind direction and position of openings,

many thanks for your response but I was meaning an internal wall inside the building that is not subject to any kind of external pressure
in ASCE-7 we apply 0.24 kn/m2 my question is about EC 1998 how does it handle it ? do we for instance combine (+0.2) and (-0.3) ?

Pls look 7.2.9 Internal pressure clauses 3,4,5
