qh = velocity pressure at mean roof height, h. (Eq. 6-13, page 30)

Kh = velocity pressure exposure coefficient evaluated at height, h, (Tab. 6-5, Case 1,pg 60)

Kd = wind directionality factor. (Tab. 6-6, for building, page 61)

p = pressure in appropriate zone. (Eq. 6-16, page 32).

G Cp f = product of gust effect factor and external pressure coefficient, see table below. (Fig. 6-4, page 43)
