Timber structures are increasingly used for modern buildings and infrastructure projects due to their sustainability, lightweight properties, and architectural flexibility. However, these same characteristics make timber structures particularly sensitive to wind actions. Accurate consideration of wind loads is therefore essential to ensure structural safety, serviceability, and long-term performance. This article provides an overview of the influence of wind loads on timber structures, key design considerations, and analysis methods in accordance with EN 1991-1-4 (Eurocode 1) and related national annexes.
