The subject of this paper pertains to an apparently well researched area. A good number of research efforts the world over have involved for decades the determination of wind loads on low rise buildings. However, the subject continues to be a live area of enquiry. There are several reasons for it. A rather large number of factors affect wind loads on low rise buildings, besides also the wide range of the variables involved. Furthermore, it is true that a vast majority of buildings fall under the category of “low-rise”. Research has produced new and important information which is relevant to the safety of engineering constructions, and even more to the millions of partially-engineered ones. Two earlier works by Stathopoulos [1] and Holmes [2] made a review on the subject. This paper covers a wider scope and attempts to put together the state-of-the-art of the information available.
