Wind Loads Calculation BS6399 1

The document provides calculations of wind loads on a 30m tall tower located 100m above sea level according to BS 6399-2. It determines the basic wind speed of 25m/s and calculates adjustment factors for altitude, direction, season, and probability to find an effective wind speed of 53.9m/s. It also notes the building dimensions are 51m long by 25m wide and that dividing it would provide a negligible load reduction.
