Comparison of Wind Actions According to JUS Standards and BAS EN 1991-1-4 in Bosnia and Hercegovina

Designed wind actions can be determined through JUS standards that are still legally valid in Bosnia and Herzegovina, or through BAS EN 1991-1-4:2015 with its associated National Annex BAS EN 1991-1-4/NA:2018 and wind map for Bosnia and Herzegovina. The design philosophy remained the same, but specific differences are noticeable during the determination of effects. In this research, the differences between the two standards are investigated and, ultimately, the result of those differences is in the form of the designed actions to the structure. Several cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina were taken for the purposes of the research. The structural model is a simple fixed frame, while the differences in wind actions are displayed in the form of effects: bending moment, shear, and axial forces. The results of the research were discussed, and a further direction of the research was suggested.
