Table 4 - Factor SB For Standard Method

This document provides a table of factor Sb values used in calculating wind loads on structures for different site conditions, effective heights of structures, and distances to the sea. It includes 4 notes providing additional context on interpolating values, the table being derived from a reference, an assumed diagonal dimension, and directing use of an alternative method for heights over 100m. An example calculation is also shown applying values from the table.

NOTE 1 Interpolation may be used within each table
NOTE 2 The figures in this table have been derived from reference (5).
NOTE 3 Values assume a diagonal dimensions a = 5m.
NOTE 4 If He > 100m use the directional method of section3.
