wind erosion
I think this provides the correct mix between scientific and lay.
See, for example this EU 'soil portal'
Soil Themes > Soil Erosion > Wind Erosion
Background Information
Wind erosion is the transport of soil particles by wind and forms part of the degradation process on arable land by segregating the soil particles.

eolic drag
I found an article talking about coeficientes de sustentacion y arrastre translated as lift and drag coeffiicents

ground wind drag

23/4/2000 - On flat ground wind drag on a wide tall boat is a major factor. I saw a 5 mph increase and 10% better miliage when I installed a wind deflector ...

It seems fairly obvious to me that "arrastre" comes directly from "drag", a term frquently found in relation to wind.
" The lighthouse itself is 14m tall, it consists of a white cylindrical tower with red landtern roof. It was fitted with guy wires to withstand the wind drag on this southern headland."

: But the text seems to be discussing erosion and not construction design forces, as per your examples. More aerodynamics than soil erosion.
