Wind load is a lateral force that affect on building, usually in the horizontal

direction. The wind-bracing requirement for a building is precisely the same as the
requirement for either diagonal bracing or sheet bracing of a structure. Wind load have
windward wall, leeward wall and side wall direction of wind load.
According to ASCE_7-10, section 27.4.1: Design wind pressures for the MWFRS
(Main Wind-Force Resisting System) of flexural building shall be determined from the
following equation:

P = qGfCp qi(GCpi)
Where P = Wind pressures
q = qz for windward walls evaluated at height z above the ground
q = qh for leeward walls, side walls, leeward walls, and roofs of enclosed
building and for negative internal pressure evaluation in partially enclosed
buildings.
qi = qz for positive internal pressure evaluation in partially enclosed
buildings where height z is defi ned as the level of the highest opening in
the building that could affect the positive internal pressure. For buildings
sited in wind-borne debris regions, glazing that is not impact resistant or
protected with an impact resistant covering shall be treated as an
opening in accordance with Section 26.10.3. For positive internal pressure
evaluation, qi may conservatively be evaluated at height h(qi = qh).
G = gust-effect factor
Cp = external pressure coefficiect
(GCpi) = internal pressure coefficient

Velocity Pressure qz, at the elevation of z shall be calculated by the following


equation :

qz = 0.613KzKztKdV2
qz = Velocity Pressure at height of z
Kd = wind directionality factor
Kz = velocity pressure exposure coefficient
Kzt = topographic factor defined
V = basic wind speed
The numerical coefficient 0.613 shall be used except where sufficient climatic data
are available to justify the selection of a different value of this coefficient for a design
application.
The wind speed has been assuming base on the exposure of the building. The wind
speed is 150 km/h = 41.67 m/s. The building is in the exposure type B
