Terrain roughness:
z0,ll = 0.05 m Roughness length for terrain category II, Table 4.1
zmax = 200 m Maximum height, Section 4.3.2
kr = 0.170 Terrain factor depending on z0; Section 4.3.2, Expression (4.5) [ kr = 0.19 * (z0/z0,ll)0.07 ]
cr(z) = kr * ln(z/zo) for zmin ≤ z ≤ zmax and cr(z) = cr(zmin) for z ≤ zmin Roughness factor; Section 4.3.2, Expression (4.4)
Terrain orography:
co(z) = 1.0 Orography factor; Section 4.3.1, recommended value is co(z) = 1.0 (Note 1).
Wind turbulence:
kl = 1.0 Turbulence factor; Section 4.4 (1), recommended value is 1.0.
Iv(z) = kl/co(z) * ln(z/zo) for zmin ≤ z ≤ zmax and Iv(z) = Iv(zmin) for z < zmin Turbulence intensity; Section 4.4 (1), Expression (4.7)
z= 8.3 m Height of pipes & pipe support above ground (TOS EL.+108.30 - FGL EL.+100)
qp(z) = 2.435 kPa Design peak velocity pressure of pipe support, refer to Table above w/r to height z
cscd = 1.0 Structural factor; Section 6.2
cf,0 = 2.0 Force coefficient; Section 7.7 (Note 1)
Ψλ = 1.0 End-effect factor (Figure 7.36)
cf = 2.0 Force coefficient; Section 7.7, Expression (7.11) [ cf = cf,o x Ψλ]
