What is Corrections to Wind Load Calculations about?

This document summarizes errors in BRE Special Digest SD5 related to determining wind loads on unclad frames. SD5 incorrectly uses parameters related to frame spacing and solidity ratios, leading to significantly higher predicted wind loads than BR173. The total solidity ratio in SD5 should be φ = φv + φh,s, using the equivalent horizontal solidity ratio φh,s instead of adding it to the horizontal solidity ratio φh. Additionally, the secondary beam spacing S, not the frame spacing, should be used to determi
