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 north-south and east-west 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 W18x40 Typ. Using the following LCs draw their factored shear and moment diagrams.
or 0.3S or 0.5R
or 1.0S or 1.6R or 0.5W
or WT r or 0.3S or 0.5R
Using the ASCE 7-16 procedure on the project assuming the building is in SDC A, Calculate the seismic load story forces using the ASCE 7 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 N-S and E-W 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 picture/sketch. Use the ASCE7-16 hazard site to obtain your wind velocity.

Building Information:
4 Story Office Building
N-S direction perimeter: Moment frames along N-S and W-E direction perimeter with triangles designating moment connected girder members.
Braced frames along grid line 4 and 5 of elevator core
Location: King of Prussia, Pa
4006' Latitude and 7524' Longitude (40.1 and -75.4, respectively)
Assume site class B (rock), wind exposure category B and a partially exposed roof.
Typical Floor:
Framing: ASTM A992 Grade 50 Wide Flange Beams and Girders, if using an allowance, use 5 psf for beams and 2psf for girders
Columns: ASTM A992 Grade 50 Wide Flange Columns, 1 psf (estimated)
Exterior wall load: 55 psf for brick facade; 15 psf ribbon window glazing. See details for dimensions.
Superimposed dead load: 15 psf (includes mech, LE, ceiling, flooring, etc.)
Slab: Use normal weight concrete on a 1.5'' composite deck (Vulcraft 1.5VLI20) with 4.5'' topping (from deck catalog: 63psf)
Roof:
Type: Built-up roof with gravel, 20 psf
Framing: K Series Bar Joists and Wide Flange Girders, 3 and 2 psf, respectively (estimated)
Exterior wall load: 55 psf for brick facade; 15 psf ribbon window glazing. See details for dimensions.
Superimposed Dead Load: 10 psf (includes mech, L/E, ceiling, insulation, etc.)
Roof Deck: Vulcraft 1.5B Roof Deck, 2 psf
3' high parapet.
