Wind Load Dusit Bangkok

This document calculates wind loads for a project in Dusit, Bangkok. It specifies a reference wind speed of 29 m/s and air density of 1.25 kg/m^3 to determine a reference velocity pressure of 54 kg/m^2. Exposure and gust factors of 1.26 and 2.5 are used to calculate specified external and internal wind pressures. The maximum specified wind loads are a pressure of 193 kg/m^2 and suction of -230 kg/m^2, resulting in a design wind load of 2.26 kPa.
