Wind Loading Based On EC 1991-4 Project: 144 Joo Chiat Terrace Total Building Height

This document provides wind loading calculations for a building project based on EC 1991-4 standards. It calculates the mean wind speed and peak velocity pressure at different heights on the building, which varies based on factors like the basic wind velocity, terrain roughness, and structure type. The mean wind speed at the top of the 16.65m building is calculated to be 26.91 m/s and the peak velocity pressure is 783.06 Pa.
