Windstorm: Dynamic Pressure at return period 50 years
The Windstorm Risk Maps show peak wind gusts and their dynamic pressure and the corresponding uncertainties. The maps provide a country-wide basis for the estimation of the regional windstorm risk, however they do not replace the Dynamic Pressure Reference (Standard SIA 261 Annex E). The windstorm…
This dataset provides nationwide windstorm risk maps for Switzerland, showing dynamic pressure values associated with peak wind gusts for a return period of 50 years, along with their associated uncertainties. Published by the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (BAFU) under the Swiss Confederation, the maps offer a country-wide basis for estimating regional windstorm risk. They do not replace the Dynamic Pressure Reference defined in Standard SIA 261 Annex E, but serve as a complementary resource for assessing wind hazard across Switzerland.”
