Wind Pressure Calculation

As Per ASCE

Pz = qz x G f x Cp
qz = 0.613 x Kz x Kzt x Kd x V2 x I

qz = Velocity Pressure Evaluated At Height z Above Ground, in N/m 2


qh = Velocity Pressure Evaluated At Height z = h, in N/m2
pz = Pressure That Varies With Height In Accordance With The Velocity Pressure q z Evaluatet At Height z
ph = Pressure That Is Uniform With Respect To Height As Determined By The Velocity Pressure q h Evaluated At Mean Roof Height h
I = Importance Factor
V = Basic Wind Speed, in m/s2
G = Gust Effect Factor For Main Wind Force Resisting Systems Of Flexible Buildings And Other Structures
Cf = External Pressure Coefficient To Be Used In The Determination Of Wind Loads For Buildings
Kz = Velocity Pressure Exposure Coefficient Evaluated At Height z
Kzt = Topographic Factor
Kd = Directionality Factor
