Maximum Design wind speed for Building for strength limit state = V[des,Θ,u] = 37.19 m/s Vp = 30.4

Classification of Wind Loading To AS4055:

Upper wind Class N2 WP33, WU40 Lower wind Class N1 WP28, WU34
NB: The Lower wind class is only relevant for pre-engineered structures designed to the AS1170 wind speed calculated above, and is therefore
designed to a lower wind speed than the AS4055 classification of the site would require: the upper wind class shown above. (eg. An AS4055
classified N2 building is not suitable for a N3 site. But the AS1170 designed building is suitable for the AS1170 assessed site.)
