Regarding wind shape factor,
1. CAESAR II Technical reference states
" ASCE #7 in figure 6-21, A value of 0.5 to 0.65 is typically used for cylindrical section "
2. One of my project specification states
As per BS 6399 Part 2 table 20,
"Pressure coefficient 1.2 shall be applied for Circular section."
Would someone let me advise reasons of different wind shape factors between codes?
