This category includes flat, unobstructed areas exposed to winds flowing over open water for a distance of at least 1 mile (1.61 kilometers). This exposure shall apply only to those buildings and other structures exposed to the winds coming off the water. Exposure D extends inland from the shoreline a distance of 1,500 feet (460 meters) or 10 times the height of the building or structure, whichever is greater.
LargeCityCenter Defines the case in which the terrain type is A: large city center (1). This category includes large city centers with at least 50% of the buildings having a height in excess of 70 feet (21.3 meters). Use of this exposure category shall be limited to those areas for which terrain representative of Exposure A prevails in the upward direction for a distance of at least 0.5 miles (0.8 kilometers) or 10 times the height of the building or other structure, whichever is greater. Possible channeling effecent building will be taken into account.
