Question: Using the building from the example, continue on to solve for: Calculate the wind load pressures on the building and show them on an elevation
Using the building from the example, continue on to solve for:
Calculate the wind load pressures on the building and show them on an elevation for the eastwest direction.
Calculate the wind load story forces and show them on an elevation for the northsouth and eastwest directions.
Calculate the uplift on the roof due to wind assume the wind is flat
Using Your roof gravity loads and the uplift wind loads, then determine the loading on the labeled Wx Typ Using the following LCs draw their factored shear and moment diagrams.
or or
or or or
or r or or
Using the ASCE procedure on the project assuming the building is in SDC A Calculate the seismic load story forces using the ASCE and show them on an elevation.
Compare the wind and seismic base shear the sum of the story forces from the prior two questions in both the NS and EW directions. Which one would likely control the member sizes in in each direction? Explain your answers.
Idealize a building and solve for the base and story shears on both faces here. Include all relevant details and a picturesketch Use the ASCE hazard site to obtain your wind velocity.
