Abstract

Field studies of wind flow regimes, based on profile measurements at appropriate Split and Dubrovnik localities, and aimed at defining the National Annex to the new Croatian wind load standard, are presented. The results obtained confirm that the wind susceptibility coefficient ce(z) for coastal area should differ from the corresponding European standard. In addition to the unevenness and orography of terrain, the studies take into account the effects of altitude and turbulent wind flow.
