Wind Load Calculation Report for xxxx Tower

This document contains calculations of wind loads on a proposed 30m tall building according to British Standard BS 6399-2. It determines the basic wind speed, effective wind speed, dynamic wind pressure, and external pressure coefficients based on the building's dimensions and location. The external pressures are calculated as 1.131 kPa for the windward longitudinal face, -0.376 kPa for the leeward longitudinal face, 1.163 kPa for the windward transverse face, and -0.436 kPa for the leeward transverse face.

Ss ≔ 1 seasonal factor - Section [Link]

Sp ≔ 1 probability factor - Section [Link]

for building heights larger that the width some reduction in wind loads may be obtained
by dividing the building into a number of parts - in our case the reduction is neglijable.
