HOW TO START WITH THE WIND ANALYSIS OF A BUILDING USING NSCP

The main goal of analyzing the wind load is to convert it into a concentrated force which will be applied to the frames in order for us to start computation of moments and shears using any of the methods discussed earlier:

• Portal method
• Cantilever method
• Q-factor method

However, if you check the NSCP, the procedure with lead us only until  which in units  . This pressure (distributed load) is still to be converted into a force in order to be applied in the frame, thus   will then be multiplied with an area, 

. The area of which is the length of the wall being analyzed by the tributary height.
