This PDF document provides the official structural wind load requirements for building projects within the jurisdiction of Nepal. The NBC 104: 1994 Wind Load document is a formal technical standard issued by the Government of Nepal, Department of Urban Development and Building Construction. It outlines mandatory structural design criteria for calculating wind pressures on buildings and structures. The text includes empirical data, design parameters, and methodology required to ensure structural integrity against wind forces. As a regulatory publication, it maintains a strictly utilitarian layout, focusing on technical clarity, mathematical coefficients, and engineering definitions necessary for compliance with national safety standards in new construction and major renovation projects.

Engineers and architects refer to this PDF document to establish design parameters for structural load analysis. It is typically used alongside structural calculation software or manual spreadsheets to verify that building designs meet local safety requirements. Professionals should extract relevant wind pressure coefficients and design variables directly from the text to inform their structural models, ensuring that all calculations align with the specific geographic and environmental standards mandated by the Department of Urban Development and Building Construction for projects within Nepal.

This building code is essential for structural engineers, civil contractors, and architectural firms operating within Nepal. It is referenced during the design and planning stages of residential, commercial, and industrial developments to ensure compliance with national safety legislation. Practitioners use this document to determine wind load resistance for building envelopes, roofing systems, and primary structural frames. It is a critical reference for local building permit applications, safety audits, and structural performance assessments, providing the necessary technical basis for safe, code-compliant construction.
