ACROSS WALLS 3
LOAD = 2309.10 LB/FT
HEIGHT ABOVE GROUND = 40.4 ft
CONSTANTS USED
P = qGCp-qi(GCpi)
or P = qGCp+qI(GCpi)
The worst case of the above are used.
If any component across the walls is less than
10 psf, 10 psf is used as a minimum pressure.
Constants are described as follows:
qi, Internal Velocity Pressure
q, Velocity Pressure
Kz, Velocity Pressure Exposure Coef.
Cp, External Pressure Coef.
Main wind force resisting systems are based on
ASCE 7-98 Section 6.5.12.2
Kz = 0.93
q = 31.62 psf
Cp values vary and are based on
ASCE 7, fig. 6-3
