This paper analyses a numerical experiment for buildings with ledge to compare the peak wind load on buildings with and without ledge. Discusses the possibility of simplifying the geometry of a building in numerical modelling, namely, ignoring the protrusions on the facades of buildings when calculating the wind pressure. The numerical experiment presented in this article was carried out in the SOFiSTiK computational complex. As a result of the experiment, results were obtained showing that the influence of the presence of protrusions on the facades of the building on the values of the peak wind load is insignificant. The study considered various cases of the distribution of the wind flow, both for detached buildings and for a complex of buildings. The flow was carried out along the characteristic least favourable directions of the wind action. The investigation showed that when studying peak wind loads, facades with small protrusions could be considered as smooth facades.
