As Given in Cl. 3.3.3 of CIVIL/STRUCTURAL DESIGN BASIS (KA0011418-PH0D3-CD04038, REV.1)

This document summarizes wind load parameters for structural design according to ASCE 7. It specifies a basic wind speed of 115.2 kmph, gust effect factor of 0.85, wind directionality factor of 0.85, and occupancy category III. It also provides the velocity pressure exposure coefficient, topography factor, and equations to calculate velocity pressure at different heights based on the specified wind speed and factors. Tables from ASCE 7 are referenced which include velocity pressure values for a range of heights.
