The Wind Analysis According to the UBC 1997 Excel sheet provides an easy way to compute loads due to wind, as per the Uniform Building Code (UBC) 1997. It enables the engineer to enter the critical factors, i.e., structure height, exposure category, importance factor, and basic wind speed, to calculate design wind pressure over different surfaces of a building.
The tool is particularly valuable to an engineer operating a project in an area where even now UBC 1997 is cited or for some school purposes. It makes the manual wind load calculations simple and may serve as supplementary information together with structural design programs.
