Notation

Aref = Reference area of the structure or structural element
Fw = The wind force acting on a structure
cf = Force coefficient for the structure
cpe = External pressure coefficient
cscd = Structural factor
qp(ze)= Peak velocity pressure
we = Wind pressure acting on the external surfaces

...

The wind pressure acting on the external surfaces, we is obtained from equation below.

Mathinline
body--uriencoded--$$ \normalsize w_e =q_p(z_e) \cdot c_%7Bpe%7D $$

qp(ze) is the peak velocity pressure, cpe is the pressure coefficient for the external pressure given in Pressure and Force Coefficients title

Mathinline
body--uriencoded--$$ \normalsize F_w =c_sc_d \cdot \displaystyle\sum_%7Belements%7D c_f \cdot q_p(z_e) \cdot A_%7Bref%7D $$

Structural factor cscd is defined by user. cf is the force coefficient for the structure or structural element. qp(ze) is the peak velocity pressure at reference height ze. Aref is the reference area of the structure or structural element.
