Wind Pressure = G x qz X Shape Factor.



Wind Pressure Vs. Elevation method for wind analysis,



Since Shape factor (0.65) is already used to calculate wind pressure.

So during caesar Input modelling Shape factor 0.65 is required to consider or shape factor =1 is correct to input in caesar model?

In "Wind Pressure Vs. Elevation" you insert the Peq = the equivalent wind pressure (dynamic pressure) (1/2*dens*V2).

Then you specify the wind shape factor in the input screen and Caesar will adjust the pressure and will apply the "effective wind pressure" over the pipe.
