Peak height for the calculation of wind load calculation apparatus and method

A method of estimating a peak height used for computing wind load applied to a structure by using a peak height estimating device that comprises an information collecting unit and a peak height estimating unit, the method comprising:

• collecting, by the information collecting unit, height information on a plurality of points in a subject area;
• and
• performing, by the peak height estimating unit, statistical processing on height information to estimate the peak height,
• wherein the information collecting unit further collects location information on a plurality of points in the subject area, and
• the peak height estimating unit uses regression analysis based on the location information and the height information to calculate a regression equation and uses the location information, the height information and the regression equation to estimate a peak height.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium on which a program to be executed by a computer and implement a peak height estimating method is recorded, the method comprising:

• collecting, by an information collecting unit, height information on a plurality of points in a subject area;
• and
• performing, by a peak height estimating unit, statistical processing on the height information to estimate the peak,
• wherein the information collecting unit further collects location information on a plurality of points in the subject area, and
• the peak height estimating unit uses regression analysis based on the location information and the height information to calculate a regression equation and uses the location information, the height information and the regression equation to estimate a peak height.
