vindtryk
Vindtryk, or wind pressure, is the force per unit area exerted by moving air on a surface. It is a central consideration in structural design for buildings, bridges, and other structures, and is measured in pascals (N/m2). It arises from the dynamic pressure of air interacting with surface orientation and geometry.
Physically, wind pressure is described by q = 1/2 ρ v², where v is wind speed and ρ is
On a building, windward surfaces experience positive pressure, while leeward surfaces and roofs often experience negative
Estimation of vindtryk relies on wind measurements, exposure, height, and terrain. International and national standards specify
Design applications include sizing cladding, façades, and structural frames to resist both average and peak wind
