In this design example we will try to present how to calculate the wind loads subjected to signboards
according to Eurocode 1 (EN 1991-1-4). The dimensions of the signboard are h=7,00m and b=5,00m. It is

separated from the ground by a height zg=1,50m. Finally, the value of the basic wind velocity is Vb=33m/s
and the category of the terrain I (flat horizontal area with negligible vegetation and without obstacles). Харесва ми

You will find nothing in EN 1992 except

Thanks. Will check it out!

cr(ze)=kr*ln(z/z0) (EN 1991-1-4 Expression 4.4)

Terrain factor - kr

kr=0,19*(z0/z0,II)^0,07=0,19*(0,01/0,05)^0,07=0,1698 (EN 1991-1-4 Expression 4.5)

cr(ze)=kr*ln(z/z0)=0,1698*ln(5,00/0,01)=1,055 (EN 1991-1-4 Expression 4.4)

Turbulence Intensity - Iv (z)

z=ze=5,00m > zmin=1,00m

Orography Factor: co(z)=1,00

Iv (z)=kI/(co(z)*ln(z/z0))=1,00/(1,00*ln(5,00/0,01))=0,1609 (EN 1991-1-4 Expression 4.7)

Basic Velocity Pressure - qb

qb=0,50*ρ*Vb2=0,50*0,00125*332=0,68kN/m2 (EN 1991-1-4 Expression 4.10)

Mean Wind Velocity - Vm

Vm(z)=cr(z)*co(z)*Vb=1,055*1,00*33=34,82m/s (EN 1991-1-4 Expression 4.3)

Peak Velocity Pressure - qp(z)

qp(z)=(1+7*Iv (z))*0,50*ρ*Vm(z)2=(1+7*0,1609)*0,50*0,00125*34,822=1,61kN/m2 (EN 1991-1-4

Expression 4.8)

Wind Force - Fw

Fw=cf *qp(z)*Aref =1,80*1,61*(5*7)=101,43kN (EN 1991-1-4 Expression 5.3)

Horizontal Eccentricity - e

e=0,25*b=0,25*5=1,25m (EN 1991-1-4 Clause 7.4.3 (3))
