Wind speed contour interpolation for structural design
Get Contour Value
Returns interpolated design values from contour maps at specified coordinates.
Interpolation Method: Finds the two nearest contour lines and linearly interpolates the value based on distance. Returns single contour value if in flat region.
Available Datasets:
- US Wind (ASCE 7-16):
us_wind_asce7_16_rc1throughrc4(Risk Categories I-IV) - European Wind:
spain_wind,dk_base_wind_speed(Denmark),gb_base_wind_speed(UK),ke_base_wind_speed(Kenya)
Use Cases:
- Determine design wind speed for structural calculations
- Extract basic wind speed values per ASCE 7-16
- Obtain wind parameters for Eurocode EN 1991-1-4
- Get site-specific design values between contour lines
Units: Specify output unit (e.g., m/s, mph, kPa). Values are converted from dataset's native unit.
Response: Interpolated value with requested unit.
