FIG. 1 B ASIC WIND S PEED IN M /S (BASED ON 50-YEARS RETURN PERIOD )

height of any object surrounding the structure
is less than 1.5 m. The equivalent aerodynamic
roughness height, (z0,1) for this terrain is 0.002
m. Typically this category represents open
sea-coasts and flat plains without trees.
b) Category 2 — Open terrain with well scattered
obstructions having heights generally between
1.5 m and 10 m. The equivalent aerodynamic
roughness height, (z 0,2) for this terrain is
0.02 m.
