The structure is located in 81 Akuna Street, Kenmore QLD, Australia classified as Terrain Category 2.5 (TC2.5) (assumed to be homogeneous for
the selected wind direction) and is 23.69 km from Australian coastline. The location is elevated at 20.50 m above mean sea level.

For calculating the hill-shape multiplier, the detected topography for the selected wind source direction is Hill.
The site wind speed, , for each wind direction is tabulated below. Note that the default Terrain Category is Category 1 if not defined from the UI.
The site wind speed for the selected direction β at the reference height (z) can be solved using the formula:

From these values, the at can be calculated based (using linear interpolation) on the angle between the orthogonal axis parallel to the building
length, , and True North equal to 0°. Take note that the design wind speed should not be less than 30 m/s and the maximum wind speed for .
Therefore:
Section 2.3 - Design Wind Speed - 0°
Building design wind speed determined at the building height, h, for θ equal to 0°
Section 2.3 - Design Wind Speed
Building design wind speed determined at the building height, h, for θ equal to 90°
Section 2.3 - Design Wind Speed
Building design wind speed determined at the building height, h, for θ equal to 180°
Section 2.3 - Design Wind Speed
Since the design case for the structure is 4 effective surface - Pressures from windward and leeward walls in combination with roof
pressures and internal pressures:
