Important notes on wind force computations:

1. Case A and Case B are required as two separate loading conditions to generate the wind action
torsion, to be resisted by the main wind-force resisting system.
2. To obtain the critical wind actions, the building shall be rotated in 90degree increments so that
corner in turn becomes the wind-ward corner while the loading patterns remain fixed
3. Plus and minus signs signify pressures acting toward and away from the surfaces, respectively.
