Eurocode Wind Load Design Guidelines

This document provides input information and outlines the design process for calculating peak wind pressure on a building roof. Specifically, it gives the basic wind velocity, exposure category, roof type, clear height and building width as input. It then details the steps to calculate the design wind velocity, height velocity, peak velocity pressure and external pressure coefficient based on formulas and factors from relevant standards. The goal is to determine the peak wind pressure of 2.48 kN/m2 on the roof.
