Roof geometry
Height of the construction h = 5m
Width of the roof perpendicular to the wind b = 12m
Width of the roof parallel to the wind d = 15m
Pitch angle α = 10°

Parameters of the wind load

Location and season characteristics
Reference height above terrain z = 5m
Wind region 4
Basic wind velocity vb,0 = 30 m/s
Directional factor cdir = 1

Season factor cseason = 1

Basic wind velocity vb = cdir ∙ cseason ∙ vb,0 = 1 ∙ 1 ∙ 30 = 30 m/s

Terrain characteristics
Terrain category 2
Minimum height zmin = 2 m
Roughness length z0 = 0.05 m
z0 0.07 0.05 0.07
Terrain factor kr = 0.19 ∙ ( ) = 0.19 ∙ ( ) = 0.19
0.05 0.05
z 5
Roughness factor cr = kr ∙ ln ( ) = 0.19 ∙ ln ( ) = 0.875
z0 0.05

Orography factor
Orography factor cO = 1

Mean wind velocity

Mean wind velocity vm = cr ∙ cO ∙ vb = 0.875 ∙ 1 ∙ 30 = 26.2 m/s
 Peak velocity pressure
Turbulence factor kI = 1
kI 1
Turbulence intensity Iv = z = = 0.217
cO ∙ ln ( ) 1 ∙ ln ( 5 )
z0 0.05

Air density ρ = 1.25 kg/m3

Peak velocity pressure
1 1
qp = (1 + 7 ∙ Iv ) ∙ ∙ ρ ∙ vm 2 = (1 + 7 ∙ 0.217) ∙ ∙ 1.25 ∙ 26.22 = 1.09 kPa
