Roof Wind Loads

Roof Wind Loads is a structural engineering construct that quantifies the external pressure and suction forces exerted by wind on the rooftop surfaces of buildings, distinguished from other wind load components by its specific focus on the aerodynamic effects occurring at roof geometries and their implications for structural design and cladding integrity.
