Wind loads & wind pressure

project planning & design
1

On My last PPD exam that I took I had a lot of Wind pressure and Wind load diagrams that I was unfamiliar with. Since then I have been able to study some diagrams in the building construction illustrated book, but I am looking for areas to be able to practice wind load and pressures on a building. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Hi @sderekandemily,

I’m glad that you’ve been studying the diagrams in Building Construction Illustrated, as that is always my first resource I’d recommend for wind loads.

Have you checked out our free PPD Practice Quiz? There are a couple of wind pressure/load questions that could be helpful:
