The focus of this report is on the procedures for determining the design wind loads for non-building structures in petrochemical and other industrial facilities. The report is structured around the following generic types of structures usually found in these facilities. Examples are also provided for some of these structures:
Pipe support structures (pipe racks, pipe bridges)
Open and partially clad frame structures
Vessels (vertical, horizontal and spherical)
Cooling towers
Air coolers (air cooled heat exchangers, also known as fin fans)
