How to Calculate Eurocode Wind Load in StruSheets
Turn the EN 1991-1-4 workbook’s red input cells — Vb, terrain, orography and geometry — into qp(z) and wall/roof pressures.
The Wind Load · Eurocode app uses the unlocked red cells from Wind Excel-Eurocode Ver2.17: length, width, eave, slope, basic wind speed, terrain category and orography factor.
Peak velocity pressure follows qp(z) = ½ ρ vm² (1+7 Iv). Wall and roof cpe values are the duopitch table used by the print-coefficient sheet.
