Bs = background factor indicating the measure of slowly varying component of

fluctuating wind load caused by the lower frequency wind speed variations
= 1/[1+{0.26(h-s) 2 +0.46b 2 sh }/L h ]

bsh = average breadth of the structure between heights s and h

Lh = measure of effective turbulence length scale at the hieght, h, in m
= 85*(h/10)0.25 for terrain catogary 1 to 3
= 70*(h/10)0.25 for terrain catogary 4

s = Levels at which action effects are calculated (s<z<h)
h =

ϕ = factor to account for the second order turbulence intensity

= (g v *I h,i *√B s )/2
Ih,i = turbulence intensity at height h in terrain catogary i

b0h = average breadth of the structure between 0 and h.
= 3.000 m

E = spectrum of turbulence in th eapproaching wind stream

N = fa*Lh/Vh,d
fa = first mode natural frequency of the structure in
along wind direction
Time period = 1.126604 sec
