Hi Faizul,
There are various methods for making these calculations,
some which lump the round member drag coefficient into
the wind pressure calculation and others which provide a
"flat plate" wind pressure. If properly applied, the various
methods seem to provide reasonably consistent answers.
Here is a pretty good summary of some of the methods
that are used:

Good luck with your project.
