Article 17° – Wind Action & its effect on
Structures
The scope of the code specifications includes the
following types of ordinary structures:
1. Regular buildings with height up to 200m;
2. Bridge structures (excluding cable-supported
bridges) having span up to 200m.
3. Dynamic Non-sensitive Building Structures
with na > 1 Hz.
4. Dynamic Sensitive Building Structures with
0.2 Hz < na < 1 Hz.
Note: na = the first mode fundamental frequency of
the structure

Article 17° – Wind Action & its effect on
Structures
Out of the scope of this code:
1. Flexible structures with na < 0.2 Hz;
2. Special flexible structures (e.g., cable structures,
chimneys, lattice towers);
3. Irregular building structures (Significant eccentricities
and torsional vibration effects);
4. Structures with “shielding effects”;
5. Structures with significant “crosswind response”, in
addition to alongwind response;
6. Structures where vibration modes other than the
fundamental mode need to be considered.
Note: na = the first mode fundamental frequency of the
structure

Article 17° – Wind Action & its effect on
Structures
The Basis of the Statistical analysis:
1. Wind data base of Macau (the year 1952 ~ 2005);
2. Wind blowing over the sea surface at a height of
250m;
3. All directions were considered in the statistical
analysis;
4. Confidence level of 99.5%;
5. Terrain roughness (only one type of roughness –
wind blowing over the sea surface);
6. Return period of 50 years (equivalent to an annual
probability of exceedance of 2%);
