Terrain Roughness Effects

Terrain Roughness Effects is a wind loading parameter that characterizes the influence of surface obstructions and terrain features on the mean wind speed profile and turbulence intensity in the atmospheric boundary layer, thereby affecting the wind-induced pressures and forces acting on low-rise buildings.
