Force Coefficient

Force coefficient for a non-slender structural component with a quadratically rounded cross-section

cf = cf,0 · Ψr · Ψλ

cf,0

Basic force coefficient of sharp-edged cross-sections

Ψr

Reduction factor for considering the rounded corners of a quadratic cross-section

Ψλ

Reduction factor for considering the effective slenderness λ, depending on the solidity ratio φ

φ

Solidity ratio for considering the permeability of windward surfaces
