3. Wind resistance
There are three performance criteria (see [C 3 610], § 1.3.2.1):
stiffness under pressure + p1 and – p1 ;
the retention of initial performance after loading under a strain pressure of + p1 and – p1 and after loading for 50 cycles at – p2 and + p2 ;
safety after conventional gust pressure loading + p3 and – p3 .
A relative deflection must be respected (however, for particular specifications, a limitation to absolute deformation may be imposed), i.e. either 1/150 of the span of the connection (general case), or 1/200, or 1/300 of the span of...
