14-storey Steel Moment Frame Building
Office Building, which is not an essential facility and does not pose a substantial risk to human life.
Located in a suburban area, flat topography at and surrounding the building.
Basic Wind Speed (V)=47ms
The building is Enclosed.
Consider 1 m parapet wall at roof.
Gust Effect Factor in x-direction =0.93
(Refer ASCE 7-16,)

b. What will be the surface roughness category?
c. What will be the exposure category ?
d. What will be the value of topographic factor (kzt)?
e. What will be the ground elevation factor(ke)?
f.what will be the velocity pressure expousre coffecient for the roof height of the building (z=54m)?
g. What will be the wind directionally factor (kd)?
h. Calculate the windward, leeward and net pressure ?
i. What will be the net story force?
j. What will be the story shear at roof and base ?
