 NOTATIONS
Basic wind speed obtained from table 207-1, kph
Wind directionality factor in table 207-6
Velocity pressure coefficient evaluated at height z
Topographic factor as defined in section 207.7.2
Importance Factor

Gust effect factor for rigid buildings, also called “simplified dynamic response factor”
and is equivalent to Gf with R (resonant response factor) assumed as zero

Mean roof height of the building, tower or other structure, except that eave height
for a building shall be used for roof angle θ of less than or equal to 10°, m

Velocity pressure coefficient evaluated at height z = h, Kpa

External pressure coefficient to be used in the determination of wind loads for
buildings
Product of internal pressure coefficient and gust effect factor to be used in the
determination of wind loads for buildings

Product of external pressure coefficient and gust effect factor to be used in
