Section 207.1.2. Shall Be Not Less Than Specified in This Section
Definition of Terms
Wind loads –Refers to loads that do, or can, change over time, such as people walking
around a building (occupancy) or movable objects such as furniture.
1.2 Scope
Buildings, towers, and other vertical structures, including the Main Wind-Force
Resisting System (MWFRS) and all components and cladding thereof, shall be designed
In the calculation of design win loads for the MWFRS and for components and cladding for
buildings, the algebraic sum of the pressures acting on opposite faces of each building
The design wind load, determined by any one of the procedures specified in
The wind load to be used in the design of the MWFRS for an enclosed or partially
enclosed building or other structure shall not be less than 0.5 kPa multiplied by the area of
the building or structure projected onto a vertical plane normal to the assumed wind
direction. The design wind force for open buildings and other structures shall be not less

1.9 Wind Load Effect
Wind effects on structures can be classified as Static and Dynamic. Static wind effect
primarily causes elastic bending and twisting of structure. And for tall, long span and slender
structures a dynamic analysis of the structure is essential. Wind gusts cause fluctuating forces on
Tall buildings and skyscrapers are becoming increasingly complex in overall design and
architectural and design engineers must ensure a safe, sustainable and cost-efficient design by
utilizing wind engineering studies. These studies are now an industry standard and are conducted
to first evaluate the dynamic effect of wind on the structure and then to optimize the design to
For tall high aspect-ratio structures, the analysis of unsteady vortex shedding is vital
because this induces oscillating crosswind forces with certain frequency. If these coincide with the
natural frequency of the structure, it could enhance the motion and either lead to damage or even
