ASCE 7-10 Wind Design

user 30371 · Jul 8, 2015

Hey all,

Does anyone have a worked example calculation of the ASCE 7-10 wind load procedures from either Ch. 27 or Ch. 28? I learned wind design in college based on the 2005 edition and don't really use wind design that often so I haven't had the excuse (until now) of figuring out the new method.

Thanks!

ASCE 7-10 actually gives you a little handy step-by-step procedure (Table 27.2-1 and Table 28.2-1) which I found to be fairly straightforward.

I am trying to remember where I last saw some examples...hmm

You might get more answers if you move this question to the 16 Hour Structural Exam Forum.

Thanks for the suggestion. I saw the tables when I started tabbing up the code and they do look pretty useful, but I tend to understand things better when I have a worked example I can go through an see how the steps are applied.
