Calculation Headline: Roof Geometry

This document calculates wind loads on a monopitch roof with a height of 5m, width of 12m perpendicular to the wind, and 15m parallel to the wind at a 10 degree pitch. It determines the basic wind velocity is 30 m/s based on the wind region, season, and terrain category. The mean wind velocity is calculated as 26.2 m/s and the peak velocity pressure as 1.09 kPa. The load is summarized in a table showing zones A, G, and H and their respective areas, pressure coefficients, wind pressures, and wind forces.
