Wind load calculation as per EN 1991-1-4:

Air density, [cl. 4.5 Note 2] r = 1.25 Kg/m3
Height exposed above ground, (Structure + Equipment) z = 7.30 m
Basic wind pressure qb = 1/2*r*vb^2/1000 = 0.68 KN/sq.m

Kr = 0.19*(z0/z0,II)^0.07 where,
Z0,II = 0.05 m
Zmax = 200.00 m
Kr = 0.27 ≥ 0.18
Terrain roughness factor, Cr(z) = Kr*ln(z/z0) for zmin<z<zmax = 1.34
Terrain orography for flat terrain, Co(z) = 1.00
K1 = Turbulence factor K1 = 1.00
Wind turbulence factor, Iv(z) = K1/Co(z)*ln(z/z0) for zmin<z,zmax = 0.20

Exposure factor ce(z) = [1+7*Iv(z)]*Cr(z)*Co(z) = 3.22

Peak velocity pressure qp(z) = Ce(z)*qb 2.19240707 KN/sq.m
Peak wind velocity V(ze) at reference
V(Ze) = Vb*2*qp(z)/r)^0.5 = 61.81 m/s
