Case 3: Wind pressure as defined in Case 1, but considered to act simultaneously at 75% of the
specified value.
Case 4: Wind pressure as defined in Case 2, but considered to act simultaneously at 75% of the
specified value.
Notes: 1. Design wind pressures for windward (Pw) and leeward (PL) faces shall be determined in
accordance with the provisions of Section [Link].1 and [Link].3 as applicable for buildings
of all heights.

Pwx, Pwy =Windward face pressure acting in the X, Y principal axis, respectively.
PLx, PLy =Leeward face pressure acting in the X, Y principal axis, respectively.
