What it checks
Convert a verified project wind speed into velocity pressure for use in an applicable design calculation.
Engineering Zone
Wind Speed to Pressure Calculator
Convert Canadian project wind speed to wind pressure with selectable duration, terrain exposure, and height adjustment.
Using this calculator
Inputs and method
Select the wind-speed duration and enter the project wind speed. Where applicable, the calculator applies the selected combined wind, terrain, and height factors and displays both base and adjusted pressure.
Design use
Use a wind speed from the governing project criteria, not a weather forecast or ordinary station observation. Confirm the required duration, exposure, height, and load combination.
