Site Wind Speed
Vs = Vb x Sa x Sd x Ss x Sp
Vb – Basic wind speed
Sa – Altitude factor
Sd – Direction factor
Ss – Seasonal factor
Sp – Probability factor

Altitude factor
Sa = 1+ 0.001x Height above sea level
If topography not significant
As a generalisation any building more than half-way up a
hill, or an on a ridge or cliff will have increase wind
loading and a more detailed calculation of Sa will be
required

Ss – Seasonal factor = 1
Sp – Probability factor = 1
1 in 50 years storm

Example calculation
Vs = V b x S a x S d x S s x S p
Sa =1.005
Sd =1
Ss = 1
Sp = 1
Vs = 16.63 x 1.01 x 1 x 1 x1 = 16.80 m/s

Effective wind speed
Ve = Vs x Sb
Sb = Terrain & Building Factor

Building size:
Example calculation
H = 26.2 m
L = 44.3 m
Ve = Vs x Sb
Sb = 1.97 for distance 30 km from sea and He = 26.2 m
Ve = Vs x Sb = 16.80 x 1.932 = 32.5 m/s

Dynamic Pressure
qs = 0.613 x Ve2
qs = 0.613 x (32.5)2 = 647.5 N/m2
= 0.65 kN/m2

Pressure to structure
External pressure
pe = qs x Cpe x Ca
Cpe is the external pressure coefficient
Ca is the size effect factor = 1

Internal pressure
pi = qs x Cpi x Ca
Cpi is the internal pressure coefficient
