CONSTANTS USED
Dim Perp. to Ridge = 25.20 ft
Dim Parallel to Ridge = 25.70 ft
Roof Angle = 3.65 deg.
Mean Roof Height = 82.00 ft
Wall Height = 76.20 ft
Max Height of Openings = 6.20 ft
Gust Factor Walls 1, 2 = 0.85
Gust Factor Walls 3 = 0.85
Gust Factor Roofs = 0.85
Wind Speed, V = 125.0 mph
Exposure Cat. = B
Importance Cat. = 2
Internal Pressure Exposure coef., Kzi = 0.57
Internal Velocity Pressure, qi = 19.38 psf
Internal Pressure Coef., GCPi = 0.18
Topographic Factor, Kzt = 1.00
Wind Direction Factor, Kd = 0.85
MAIN PRESSURE EQUATIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
P = qGCp-qi(GCpi)
or P = qGCp+qI(GCpi)
The worst case of the above are used.
If any component across the walls is less than
10 psf, 10 psf is used as a minimum pressure.
Constants are described as follows:
qi, Internal Velocity Pressure
q, Velocity Pressure
Kz, Velocity Pressure Exposure Coef.
Cp, External Pressure Coef.
Main wind force resisting systems are based on
ASCE 7-98 Section 6.5.12.2
