Tutorial - Wind Load Calculation Example

This document provides an introduction to wind design and includes the following key points: 1) It outlines two methods for wind design - one for structures without significant resonant response, and one for structures with significant resonant response that requires calculating a gust response factor. 2) It provides an example calculation of base shear and overturning moment for a structure using the first method. 3) It considers modifying the structure height and calculates the dynamic magnification factor using the second method since resonant effects would need to be considered.

Further Question
If the building height is now modified to 110 m with damping
ratio of 2%, dynamic resonant effect should be considered.
