ABSTRACT
Starting from the assumption the mean wind pressure is of the form, see in (Davenport 1967)
in which p¯(Z) = mean pressure at point Z above the ground, V¯I = mean wind velocity at the level of the top of the structure, ρ = air density (1.26 kg/m3, varies with the altitude above sea level, in this paper this influence is neglected, which it is generally) and CP(Z) = pressure coefficient of point Z . Suitable profiles for the mean wind velocity can be described as logarithmic or power-law profiles.The power-law used by Davenport in (Davenport 1967) is
with α = 0.16 for country side and α = 0.40 in the city center. This power-law will be used in this paper to describe the wind altitude velocity profile.
