The aim of this study is to provide an additional if not to emphasis on the important of investigating the effect of wind load on multi-storey building. This has been a deadly phenomenon and devastating to our building. A structure refers to a system of two or more connected parts use to support a load. It is an assemblage of two or more basic components connected to each other so that they serve the user and carry the loads developing due to the self and super-imposed loads safely without causing any:serviceability failure (Holme, 2011). Wind in general exerts forces and moments on the structure and its cladding and eventually distributes the air in and around the building mainly termed as wind pressure. Wind is defined by its strength and direction of blowing. High speed winds of short duration are called Gusts (Kumar and Swami, 2012).
