Consider the figure shown. Given wind speed $x=150mph.$

Determine the wind pressure distribution on the four sides of the $10-$story hospital shown in the figure.The building is located near the Georgia coast where the wind velocity contour map in the figure of the text specifies a design wind speed of $150$ mph$.$The buling, located on level flat ground, is classified as stiff because its natural period $1$ s$.$ On the windward side, evaluate the magnitude of the wind prese $35ft$ in the vertical direction.

The the wind pressure at the base is psf$.$

The magnitude of the wind pressure at $35-ft$ elevation is psf$.$

The magnitude of the wind pressure at $70-ft$ elevation is psf$.$

The magnitude of the wind pressure at $105-ft$ elevation is psf$.$

The magnitude of the wind pressure at $140-ft$ elevation is $*$ psf$.$

The wind pressure on the leeward wall is psf$.$

The wind pressure on the side walls is psf$.$
