Wind Load Calculation From Eurocode 1

The document provides calculations for wind load based on Eurocode 1. It determines the wind force for two different structural elements: 1) For structural elements, it calculates a mean wind velocity of 70.28 m/s based on the terrain factors, and a peak wind force of 25.48 KN for a reference area of 2 m^2. 2) For solid cylinders, it calculates a peak wind force of 65.54 KN for a cylinder with a height of 10 m and diameter of 2 m, using a reference area of 20 m^2.
