EVALUATION OF LOADS COMING FROM D1, D2, L1, L2 ANDWIND ACTIONThe values and positions of the loads coming from D1, D2, L1 and L2 on deckswere established through survey of the specific equipments existing on decks butalso by considering the technical data concerning the volume and the self weight ofsome installations, including live loads. For the evaluation of wind loads, theappropriate exposed surfaces are calculated, inclusive the perimeter protectionshields disposed at levels 12.500 and +22.500.The exposed surfaces for the wind action directions (θ), are:
