1) Aerodynamic roughness heights for individual terrain categories have been explicitly
included, and are used to derive turbulence intensity and mean hourly wind speed
profiles.
2) The previous classification of structures into B and C classes has been deleted and
accordingly the modification factor, k2 is renamed as terrain roughness and height
factor.
3) The values of k2 factor corresponding to previous class A type structure only, are
retained in this standard.
4) An additional modification factor, i.e IMPORTANCE FACTOR has been included for
cyclonic region.
5) Formulae are suggested for height variations of hourly mean wind speed and
also turbulence intensity in different terrains.
7) In the GUST FACTOR method for evaluating along wind response equations
have been suggested for background factor, size reduction factor, energy
ratio and length of scale turbulence.
8) A method for computing across wind response of tall buildings and lattice
towers, which is line with some of the international codes of practice, has
been included.
9) Guidelines to account for wind induced interference for tall buildings and low
rise buildings have been included for use in preliminary design. It is however
recommended to carry out detailed boundary layer wind tunnel tests/CFD
(Computational Fluid Dynamics) studies for final deisgn of important
structures.

Pressure coefficients given in individual member loading are
a result of averaging the measured pressure values over a
given area. As the area becomes larger, the correlation of
measured values decrease and vice-versa. The decrease in
pressures due to larger areas may be taken into account as
given in Table below.
When calculating the wind load on individual structural elements such as roofs and
walls, and individual cladding units and their fittings, it is essential to take account of
the pressure difference between opposite faces of such elements or units. For clad
structures, it is, therefore, necessary to know the internal pressure as well as the
external pressure. Then the wind load, F, acting in a direction normal to the
individual structural element or cladding unit is:
