Gust Factor Calculation:

Gust Factor Category I Rigid Structures - Simplified Method
G1 = For Rigid Structures (Nat. Freq.>1 Hz) use 0.85 = 0.85
Gust Factor Category II Rigid Structures - Complete Analysis
Zm = Max(0.6 * Ht, Zmin) = 15.000 ft
Izm = Cc * (33 / Zm) ^ 0.167 = 0.228
Lzm = L * (Zm / 33) ^ Eps = 427.057
B = Structure Width Normal to Wind = 48.000 ft
Q = (1 / (1 + 0.63 * ((B + Ht) / Lzm)^0.63))^0.5 = 0.921
G2 = 0.925*((1+0.7*Izm*3.4*Q)/(1+0.7*3.4*Izm)) = 0.883
