Wind Load Calculations .Xls Template

This document provides load calculations for a building with a main frame. It includes the building dimensions and specifications. It then calculates the dead load, collateral load, live load, and wind load based on the given specifications. Wind load diagrams are also provided showing the load distributions for different wind directions and internal pressure coefficients. The maximum calculated wind load is -6.271 KN/m when the wind is across the ridge with a positive internal pressure coefficient.
