Wind Loads Calculations by ASCE7 05 For Any Building

The document summarizes the process to calculate wind loads on buildings according to ASCE 7-05 standards. It involves determining the velocity pressure (qz), gust effect factor (G), and force coefficient (Cf) and applying them to the equation for wind force (F). Values for qz, G and Cf are calculated using inputs like wind speed, building height, dimensions and factors from tables. Sample calculations are shown for windward and leeward sides of a building, with the leeward force restricted to a minimum of 500 N/m2.
