This three-part Digest will help the user to understand the new approach to wind loading used in the Eurocode. It is aimed at engineers, architects and other professionals who need to understand how to calculate the effect of wind on buildings and design options to minimise it. Wind loads on bridges are not covered in this Digest. 

Part 1 gives guidance on the use of BS EN 1991-1-4, its UK National Annex and the non-conflicting complementary information published in PD 6688-1-4.
Part 2 demonstrates the calculation procedure for determining wind loads and includes example calculations for a two-storey house and a 120 m tall building on a two-storey podium.
Part 3 demonstrates the calculation procedure for determining wind loads using the full dynamic method from Annex B of BS EN 1991-1-4. It includes an example calculation for determining the dynamic response of a 128 m tall building.
