WindLoad

Wind load refers to the force exerted by wind pressure on a structure, such as a building or bridge. It depends on wind speed, direction, the shape of the object, and its orientation. Engineers account for wind load when designing structures to ensure they can withstand strong winds without damage or failure. Essentially, wind load is the stress or force wind applies to a structure, and proper planning helps maintain stability and safety during storms or high wind events.
