was that corresponding to the action of the wind, considered more
unfavorable than out-of-plumb, both for direction
X
and for direc-
tion
Y.
It is worth pointing out that the drag forces were calculated
in accordance with the precepts of NBR 6123:1988 [14].
The coefficients applied to the actions, defined from the ultimate
normal combination that considers the wind to be the main variable
action, were determined as recommended by NBR 6118:2007[2].
