DETERMINING YOUR SITE WIND CLASSIFICATION

What is My Wind Region?.

When it comes to shed design, Australia is divided into four main Wind Regions based on the maximum wind speed expected during peak storm activity.

The four main wind regions existing in Australia are as follows.

Region A :

The most common wind region encompassing the vast majority of the southern region coastal areas and Australia's expansive inland areas.

Region B:

Mainly encompassing areas above 30° latitude and generally greater than 50 km from the coastline, but within both 100km and 200 km of the coastline.

Region C:

Extends along the coastline, within a distance of 50 km from the coast, for regions above 25° latitude. Classified as a cyclonic region.

Region D:

Covering a smaller region that is only specific to the west coast of Australia between 25° and 20° latitude, within 50 to 200km km of the coastline. Classified as a cyclonic region. 

The region associated with a particular building locality can be found from:
 

1. The local Council for that area, or
2. A structural engineer, building surveyor or certifier.
    

The following map shows the approximate location of the region boundaries. It should be taken only as a guide and the region verified by one of the above methods.

SOIL CLASSIFICATIONS

A

Sand/Rock, good for foundations, however problems may be encountered wth site excavation and trenched  etc.

S

Stable site - generally the lightest footing design is applicable.

M

Moderatley Reactive. The majority of clay sites fall into this category.

H

Highly reactive clay sites requiring heavier than normal footing designs. Most "Black Soil" areas are at least a "H" class soil.

E

Extremely Reactive clay sites. These are not common, however results in very expensive  footings.

P

Problem Site. This may be Mine Subsidence, uncontrolled or controlled fill greater than 400mm in depth, landslips, or soft bearings/collapsing soils and trees near the construction  area.

D

A  sub-classification had been introdiced to indicate deep seated movement. The sub-classification is required for reactive sites, classes M, H and E and is symbolised by the addition of D. The full classification for these areas would simply be M-D, H-E or E-D.
