Design Wind Load Calculations

The document summarizes the process to calculate design wind loads for a 75m tall steel building located in Butterworth, Malaysia. It provides site-specific wind speed data and calculates a design wind speed of 36.4 m/s based on terrain and height factors. It then calculates external and internal pressure coefficients for windward, leeward, and sidewall faces. Using these coefficients and the design wind speed, it determines design wind pressures of 0.65 kN/m^2 for windward, -0.65 kN/m^2 for leeward and sidewall faces.
