7.1.2.5 For accidental actions the representative value is generally a characteristic value (Ak) corresponding to a specified value. 7.1.2.6 For multi-component actions the characteristic action is represented by a group of values, to be considered alternatively in design calculation.
7.1.2.7 In most common cases the other representative values of a variable actions are :  combination value generally represented as a product ψ0 Qk ;  frequent value generally represented as a product ψ1 Qk ;  quasi-permanent value generally represented as s product ψ2 Qk.

ce(ze) is the exposure coefficient [according to ENV 1991-2-4] ; cf is the force coefficient [according to ENV 1991-2-4] ; cd is the dynamic coefficient [according to ENV 1991-2-4] ; Aref is the reference area for cf [according to ENV 1991-2-4]. a) the characteristic value of wind actions on ropes and carriers shall be taken in accordance with ENV 1991-2-4 and EN 12930 ; b) aerodynamic coefficients for ropes, stations, line support structures and similar structures shall be taken in accordance with ENV 1991-2-4, whereas aerodynamic coefficients for carriers shall be taken in accordance with prEN 13796-1 ; c) the characteristic value of wind actions out of operation shall be taken in accordance with ENV 1991-2-4. If necessary and appropriate national or regional wind maps shall be taken into account or the opinion of competent persons obtained. In ENV 1991-2-4 , most wind maps are based on the basic value of the reference wind velocity vref,0; The reference wind velocity, vref, is defined as the 10 minute mean wind velocity at 10 m above ground of terrain category II having an annual probability of excedence of 0,02 (commonly referred to as having a mean return period of 50 years) ; d) the characteristic value of the wind action in operation shall be taken from expression (1). However, the minimum value of the wind pressure wmin shall be taken as:
