This document summarizes wind load calculations for purlins on a low-rise building. It provides details of the building geometry, wind speed parameters, and wind pressure calculations for three zones on the roof. The maximum negative wind pressure is -9.034 kPa for zone 3 when the wind is normal to the ridge of the roof.
