Provides methods for calculating the maximum gust wind loads that should be taken into account when designing buildings or components thereof. Excludes buildings that are of unusual geometric shape, or have unusual site locations warranting special consideration. Does not apply to buildings whose structural properties make then susceptible to dynamic excitation.
