Setting Description fn Vu x0 according to equations given in 4.1.7.8 Sentences 2 and 3. background turbulence factor obtained from Figure 4.1.7-8 as a function of w/t, in which w is building effective width and H is the mean roof height. Both w and H are in meters. size reduction factor obtained from Figure A~ 4.1.7.8, (4)-B as a function of w/H and reduced frequency, fp“. It can be also HW Va calculated from the following equation: xt 1 3) 7, Sill ||], 10a a7 | natural frequency of vibration for given direction (in Hz). Itis either given by the user or computed by the program mean wind speed (m/s) at the top of the structure VCon mre — Ty reference velocity pressure (kPa = kN/m2), which is provided by the user air density value used by the program = 1.2929 kg/m3 gust energy ratio at the natural frequency of the structure obtained from Figure A-4.1,7.8.
