Engineering Wind Load Analysis

The document contains wind load calculations for the roof canopy of a structure in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It provides input data such as height of roof, basic wind speed, various exposure factors, and choice of calculation method. The calculations determine the effective wind speed, velocity pressure, dynamic pressure, and maximum net pressure on the roof canopy according to British standards, resulting in a value of -1.55 kN/m2.
