Windstorm: Dynamic Pressure at return period 30 years
This dataset is part of the Swiss Windstorm Risk Maps, published by the Federal Office for the Environment (BAFU) of the Swiss Confederation. It shows the dynamic pressure associated with peak wind gusts expected at a return period of 30 years, together with associated uncertainties, across Switzerland. The maps provide a nationwide basis for estimating regional windstorm risk but do not replace the dynamic pressure reference values defined in the SIA 261 Annex E standard. The data supports risk assessment and planning related to wind exposure, complementing engineering standards rather than substituting for site-specific structural calculations required under Swiss building codes.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…
