The flow of wind around a structure produces Wind Loads. The loads that act upon the
structure depend on the geographical location, surrounding obstructions, geometry and the
vibrational characteristics of the structure (Kassimali, 2010). The various codes and procedures
can be found in chapter 2 of the National Structural Code of the Philippines 2015.
