Step 1 : Select a Ratio of Cross-sectional Shape and Building Height of interest.    Wind directions
 



Step 2 : Please fill out analysis/design inputs below.
Exposure Condition    Note
Urban/Suburban area Open terrain
Averaging time for the response estimation (T)
T = 10-min. T = 1-hour
Inputs of Mean wind velocity at building top for the designs of
   Ultimate limite state (UHult), Serviceability (UHser) and Habitability (UHhab)    Important Note
UHult : m/s UHser : m/s UHhab : m/s
Building Width (B), Depth (D) and Height (H)
B : m D : m H : m
Number of building floors (Nfloors) and Building density (ρB)
Nfloors:  ρB : kg/m3
