Wind Loading Based On EC 1991-4

This document provides calculations for wind loading on a building based on Eurocode 1991-4. It specifies details of the building such as a total height of 24.25 meters. It then calculates the mean wind speed and peak velocity pressure at different heights on the building using factors for the basic wind velocity, terrain, roughness, and orography based on the building structure type and roughness length of the surface. The peak velocity pressure is calculated to be 0.84 kPa at a height of 28.08 meters on the building.
