ASCE 7-10 Wind Load Calculation Guide

The document provides information to calculate wind loads on a building based on ASCE 7-10 standards. It includes the basic wind speed, height and dimensions of the building, exposure category, velocity pressure coefficients, internal and external pressure coefficients. The summary calculations are then shown for design wind loads and pressures on various zones and components of the building under positive and negative pressure conditions.
