Gust Effect on Structures Calculator

Gust effect is an Analyzing wind-induced loads for structural safety assessment.The formula is given by:

Where:

• Fgust​ is the wind-induced force due to the gust,
• $\rho$ is the air density,
• Vgust​ is the gust wind speed,
• Cd​ is the drag coefficient,
• $A$ is the reference area (e.g., the projected area of the structure perpendicular to the wind direction).
