Description
This session will start with a focus on wind loads on a
building using the Envelope Procedure of Chapter 28. This problem will be
solved using both Part 1 and Part 2 methodologies and will highlight the
effects of altering the roof configuration (hip and flat) for the same
building.
The session will also include another example
utilizing the provisions of ASCE 7-16’s Chapter 27 on Directional Method to
determine the wind load for design of the Main Wind Force Resisting System
(MWFRS), and Chapter 30, Part 3: Buildings with mean roof height, h > 60
feet method for computing the Components and Claddings (C&C) pressures on
the building’s façade. A rectangular plan shape 14-story steel moment frame
building with an eccentric podium on the bottom floor is analyzed for this
example. Dimensions of the building in this design example were purposely
selected to demonstrate the process for evaluating the gust effect for flexible
buildings, Gf. The process for computation of design pressures for components
and cladding is also illustrated in this design example.
