Wind Loading (ASCE7-05)

This document contains calculations for the wind load on a 3.5 meter height pylon sign structure. It determines the basic wind speed, exposure category, gust effect factor, velocity pressure, and resultant force on the sign. The net wind pressure is calculated to be 1.10 kN/m2. Plans for different load cases show the 5 kN force on the sign.
