Basic Windload (NSCP 2015)

This document contains 3 figures showing basic wind speed contours for the Philippines. The figures are for different building occupancy categories and return periods. Notes below each figure provide information on interpolation, coastal areas, mountainous terrain, probability of exceedance and data source. Wind speeds are nominal 3-second gust speeds at 10m height for Exposure C category.
