Wind Pressure as given by ASCE 7 Formula Elements

Variables
Wind Pressure
Wind Pressure is the pressure due to the wind.
Symbol: p
Measurement: PressureUnit: pdl/ft²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Velocity Pressure
Velocity Pressure is the pressure required to accelerate air from zero velocity to some velocity and is proportional to the kinetic energy of the air stream.
Symbol: q
Measurement: PressureUnit: pdl/ft²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Gust Response Factor
The Gust Response Factor is to account for fluctuations in wind speed.
Symbol: G
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
External Pressure Coefficient
The External Pressure Coefficient is the coefficient for the external pressure.
Symbol: Cep
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Velocity Pressure at Point
Velocity Pressure at Point is the pressure due to the velocity of wind at some point.
Symbol: qi
Measurement: PressureUnit: pdl/ft²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Internal Pressure Coefficient
Internal Pressure Coefficient refers to the pressure inside a building, perhaps due to flow past or through openings in the structure.
Symbol: GCpt
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
