This document compares how buildings respond to wind loads according to the 1987 and 2015 versions of the Indian wind load standards (IS 875). The 1987 standard defined wind loads based on cyclonic regions while the 2015 version specified wind speeds and included topographic effects. The 2015 standard generally results in higher design wind loads than the 1987 standard.
