Wind Speed Calculation As Per SP-1275

The document provides a formula and steps to calculate wind pressure at a given height based on basic wind speed, gust factor, equipment height, local factor, and structural category factor according to SP-1275. It then works through an example calculation for a location with a 10m basic wind speed of 26 m/s and 1m height to determine the design wind speed of 35.85 m/s and corresponding wind pressure of 0.7879 kPa.
