The Formula Explained
Wind Load Calculation: \( F_w = C_d \times q_p \times A \)
Glossary of Terms
- Drag Coefficient (Cd): A dimensionless number that quantifies the drag or resistance of an object in a fluid environment.
- Peak Velocity Pressure (qp): The pressure exerted by the wind at its peak speed.
- Area (A): The surface area of the structure facing the wind.
- Wind Load (Fw): The total force exerted by the wind on the structure.
