Qatar Design Wind Speed (QCS 2010)

Qatar Design Wind Speed (QCS 2010)

Qatar Design Wind Speed (QCS 2010)

(OP)
I am a design engineer completing work from the USA for Qatar. Does anyone know where I can get excerpts from the QCS 2010 in regards to wind velocity and other structural code criteria? In particular this would be for components and cladding. Any information regarding wind pressure development (similar to ASCE or IBC) would be greatly appreciated.

I have found some engineers stating wind velocities between 30-45mph is acceptable to use. This range is too great for my design, I need a more accepted value per the actual QCS 2010. Thanks.

Hourly mean speed? That might be appropriate for wind turbine design parameter optimization.
I don't think I'd design a structure for that.

I hate Windows 8!!!!
