Direction

Determine Horizontal Wind Pressures on the Main Wind Force Resisting System $($MWFRS$)$ in

east$-$west direction $($see sketch$)$ :

Determine End Zone Dimension $(2$a$)$ for West Elevation $(4$ points$)$

Determine $$ coefficient $(4$ points$)$

Determine horizontal pressures on the building, if wind load is acting on the West

Elevation $(44=16$ points$)$

Determine the wind forces at each level using $2$ a value on one side only

and not on both sides $(44=16$ points$)$
