This document provides an overview of wind loading standards and the methodology for computing wind multipliers in Australia. It discusses key concepts like wind characteristics and multipliers used in standards. The main wind loading standard discussed is AS/NZS 1170.2. It then describes the computational methodology for various wind multipliers in the standard, including the terrain/height, shielding, topographic and direction multipliers. An example calculation is also provided. The document concludes that the methodology allows accurate assessment of wind speeds at local sites.
