    1) Wind forces on structural frames and elements like ladders and handrails should be computed according to section 4.2.2. Alternatively, elements other than the main force resisting frame can be treated as equipment. 2) The basic method for calculating wind loads on open frame structures was adapted from a British method for construction sites, covering simple rectangular frames with identical spacing. It has been validated by wind tunnel tests. 3) The basic method has been expanded to handle unequal frames, secondary beams, and rounded members, though these extensions lack experimental validation. The section 4.2 procedures can be used for typical structures that are not unusual or irregular.

    The basic method used to calculate
    wind loads on an open frame structure
    was adapted from a British method for
    computing wind forces on unclad framed
    buildings during construction (Willford
    /Al/sop). That method covers simple
    three-dimensional rectangular frame
    structures with identical, regularly spaced
    frames in each direction made of sharp-
    edged members. It is based on
    theoretical work (Cook) and has been
    calibrated against the most extensive 4.2.1.2
    wind-tunnel test data available (Georgioll
    1979). Thus, loads on the structure itself
