1. What shall be height h to be considered while evaluating
factor k2. Eave height / Ridge height? (Any specific guidelines
mentioned in code for the same or any literature if available
please mention)
2. While evaluating k4, for industrial structure in cyclonic zone
factor is 1.15. But if the shed is finished goods / Raw material,
which is not much important structure compared to process
building. In this case can we consider it as other structure and
factor 1.0 can be considered?
3. For factor kd, it is mentioned that for cyclonic region factor
shall be considered 1.0. Is this applicable for all type of
structure including building, trussed tower etc.?
