Notes: 1. Signs with openings comprising 30% or more of the gross area are classified as open signs.
2. The calculation of the design wind forces shall be based on the area of all exposed members
and elements projected on a plane normal to the wind direction. Forces shall be assumed to
act parallel to the wind direction.
3. The area 'Af' consistent with these force coefficients is the solid area projected normal to the
wind direction.

2. Specified force coefficients are for towers with structural angles or similar flat-sided members.
3. For towers containing rounded member, it is acceptable to multiply specified force coefficients
by following factor when determining wind forces on such members: 0.51* e ^2 + 0.57 <= 1.0.
4. Wind forces shall be applied in directions resulting in maximum member forces and reactions.
For towers with square cross-sections, wind forces shall be multiplied by following factor when
wind is directed along a tower diagonal: 1+ 0.75* e <= 1.2.
5. Wind forces on tower appurtenances such as ladder, conduits, lights, elevators, etc., shall be
calculated using appropriate force coefficients for these elements.
6. Notation: e = ratio of solid area to gross area of one tower face for segment considered.
