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:
