Design Wind Speed Calculator

Posted by Dinesh on

This calculator calculates the design wind speed at any height using probability factor, height factor, topography factor, cyclonic region factor values.

Design Wind speed is the wind speed at any height taken for the design of high raise (>10m) buildings, for the wind load calculation. Though Wind speed vary for innumerable reasons and vary from place to place and height.

Calculate Design Wind Speed at Any Height

Formula:

Vz = Vb × k1 × k2 × k3 × k4

Where,

k1 = probability factor (risk coefficient)

k2 = terrain roughness and height factor

k3 = topography factor

k4 = importance factor for the cyclonic region

Vz = design wind speed
