The surface model illustrates the determination of wind loads on rectangular building structures by using the wind speed and turbulence intensity specifications. The gust concept is explained and both quasi-static wind loads and peak and mean wind speeds are taken into account. Wind pressure fluctuations and drifts are displayed in detail. This model provides a practical basis for analyzing wind-related effects on building structures.
