All parameters given, flat terrain with no shielding or topographic effects
Design Wind Speed
Calculates the design site wind speed using the AS/NZS 1170.2 Section 2.2 equation V_sit,beta = V_R * M_d * M_z,cat * M_s * M_t. The terrain/height multiplier M_z,cat is looked up from Table 4.1(A) with linear interpolation for intermediate heights across five terrain categories. Applicable to buildings and structures in Australian and New Zealand wind regions.
