This document discusses wind load calculations for buildings according to European standards EN 1994-1-4 and SCI P394. It outlines two methods for calculating wind loads - the force coefficient method and vectorial summation method - and references wall pressure coefficients for rectangular buildings according to standard BS 6399-2-1997. Additional details on checking orography and calculation of wind pressure coefficients qp and qp(o) are provided.
