| MLIT 2570 (MLIT, 2011b) | h, a | a is a function of distance inland and seaward barriers, and can be considered a proxy for Fr (see Section 4.1). |
| ASCE 7-16 (ASCE, 2016) | h, v | |
| Foster et al. (2017) | h, v, b/w | b/w = building width/channel width, where channel width is the distance, orthogonal to flow, between adjacent obstacles either side of the building. |
