    Wind Load

    Uploaded by

    This document provides calculations to determine wind load on a structure based on its height and location. It calculates velocity pressure at different heights using equations that take into account height above ground and terrain type. It then uses velocity pressure and coefficients of pressure to determine design wind pressure on walls and roofs in different orientations. The windward wall sees a pressure of 0.81 kPa while the leeward and side walls see pressures of -0.42 kPa and -0.72 kPa respectively. The windward and leeward roofs see pressures of -0.75 kPa and -0.57 kPa.
