This document provides the parameters and calculations for determining wind load on a building with a total height of 23m and mean roof height of 2m located in an area with a basic wind speed of 250kph. It outlines the velocity pressure and wind pressure equations according to NSCP 2015, and calculates the wind pressure and force for the roof beam at the windward and leeward sides. The windward pressure is 1.73kPa resulting in a force of 20.241kN, while the leeward pressure is 0.24kPa with a force of 4.32kN.
