Peak Velocity Pressure (qb(z)): NA.2.17

Peak velocity pressure, qb, at height z is calculated according to the procedure given in NA.2.17.

Annex A of "NA to BS EN 1991-1-4:2005" shows flow diagrams for determination of qb (i.e., Figures A.NA.1 and A.NA.2). These diagrams are implemented. Note that diagrams refer to Figures NA.3, NA.4, NA.5, NA.6, NA.7 and NA.8.

It is also possible to enter a constant value of qb in the program. In this case, there is no need to calculate vm exclusively.
