Which of the following relation between design pressure, pz and design wind speed, Vzis correct?(a) pz ∝ Vz^2(b) pz ∝ 1/Vz^2(c) pz ∝ Vz(d) pz ∝ 1/VzI got this question during an online exam.I'd like to ask this question from Determination of Wind Loads & Load Combinations topic in section Structural Analysis, Loading and Load Combinations of Design of Steel Structures

Answer»

Correct CHOICE is (a) pz ∝ Vz^2

For explanation I would SAY: pz = 0.6Vz^2, where pz is in N/m^2 and Vzis in m/s. 0.6 factor DEPENDS on NUMBER of factors and mainly on atmospheric pressure and AIR temperature.
