    The document summarizes the TERRAIN block used for wind loading calculations according to two British standards. The TERRAIN block requires inputs for wind direction, distance to sea and town, spacing of obstructions, height of rooftops, elevation of upwind features, length of slopes, and other terrain factors. The block uses these inputs to calculate appropriate direction and terrain exposure coefficients.

    where:
    ANGLE angle SD sd Keyword. Wind angle in degrees east of north. Keyword. Direction factor (BS 8100:Part 4 Cl. 3.1.5). If not specified a value will be interpolated from Table 1 of BS 8100:Part 4.
