Guys, do any of you know the Wind Code used in Haiti ?
Im aware that Haiti never implemented nor has a standard building code (reason why many buildings damaged during the earthquake), but is there a code that is used as a reference that is applicable for Haiti Wind loading/design?
I will be designing a telecom structure in that country but I am aware it is within the hurricane belt of the Caribbean.
I have heard about a 'Caribbean Uniform Building Code', but I dont know if any of you can post a copy for dl.
Thanks, A
