Wind Load Computation

The document provides information for calculating wind loads on buildings in the Philippines, including wind speed, importance factor, exposure category, topographic factor, gust effect factor, internal pressure coefficient, external pressure coefficient, velocity pressure, wind force resisting system, and wind zone classifications for different provinces. It includes wind speed, directionality factor, importance factor, exposure categories, coefficients, and equations to calculate wind load pressures in x and y directions at different heights of a building in Zone 2 with a wind speed of 200 kph.
