Assuming the Wind load parameters below for the building, and using the Directional Method in ASCE 7 Chapter 27, answer the following questions:
The natural lateral frequency, f>1=> RIGID building
Risk Category III
Basic Ultimate Wind Speed =175mph
Exposure Category "C"
Flat land
Partially enclosed
b) Using the appropriate ASCE 7 table (see the ASCE 7 tables at the back of this exam booklet), determine the velocity pressure coefficients Kz and Kh at the roof level of the onestory building.
(5 points)
Kz( roof )=
Kh( roof )=
c) Calculate the velocity wind pressures, qz, on the windward wall, and qh on the leeward wall in psf, for the main wind force resisting systems (MWFRS). Assume Ke=1.0.(5 points)
Assuming the Wind load parameters below for the
