ASCE705W is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of wind loading analysis for buildings
and structures per the ASCE 7-05 Code. Speci cally, wind pressure coe cients and related and required

This program is a workbook consisting of nine (9) worksheets, described as follows:

Simpli ed - Analysis using simpli ed method for low-rise buildings with h <= 60’
MWFRS (Low-Rise) - Main Wind-Force Resisting System for low-rise buildings with h <= 60’
MWFRS (Any Ht.) - Main Wind-Force Resisting System for buildings of any height
Wall C&C - Analysis of wall Components and Cladding
Roof C&C - Analysis of roof Components and Cladding
Stacks & Tanks - Analysis of cantilevered chimneys, stacks, and vertical tanks
Open Structures (no roof) - Analysis of open structures without roofs
Wind Map - Basic wind speed map (Figure 6-1 of ASCE 7-05 Code)

Program Assumptions and Limitations:

1. Worksheet for "Simpli ed" analysis is applicable for low-rise buildings meeting the criteria of Section 6.4.1.

2. In the worksheet for Simpli ed analysis, the design MWFRS wind load is calculated for each direction. The
design MWFRS load is assumed to be the total wind load on either the width or the length of the building
respectively.

3. Worksheet for "MWFRS (Low-Rise)" is applicable for low-rise buildings as de ned in Section 6.2.

4. Worksheets for "MWFRS (Any Ht.)", "Wall C&C", and "Roof C&C" are applicable for buildings with mean roof
heights of up to 500 feet.

5. In worksheets for "MWFRS (Any Ht.)", "Wall C&C", and "Roof C&C" the user may opt to utilize user designated
steps in height, 'z', in determining the wind pressure distribution.

6. Worksheets for "MWFRS (Any Ht.)", "Stacks & Tanks", and "Open Structures" can handle “rigid” as well as
“ exible” buildings and structures. For “rigid” buildings or structures, this program uses the smaller value of
either 0.85 or the calculated value from Section 6.5.8.1 of the Code for the gust effect factor, 'G'. For “ exible”
buildings or structures, this program calculates the gust effect factor, ‘Gf’, per Section 6.5.8.2 of the Code
based on the assumed formula for the fundamental period of vibration from Section 12.8.2.1 of the Code,
where the exponent 'x' in the formula T = Ct*h^x is assumed to be 0.75.

7. Worksheets for "Wall C&C" and "Roof C&C" are applicable for at roof buildings, gable roof buildings with
roof angles <= 45 degrees, and monoslope roof buildings with roof angles <= 3 degrees.

8. Worksheet for "Stacks & Tanks" is applicable for cantilevered structures up to 600 feet tall.

9. Worksheet for "Open Structures" is applicable for open structures without roofs up to 500 feet tall. This can
be utilized for open process-type structures as well as pipe/utility racks and bridges.

10. This program uses the equations listed in the reference, “Guide to the Use of the Wind Load Provisions of
ASCE 7-02” for determining the external wind pressure coe cients, ‘GCp’, used in the Wall C&C and Roof C&C
worksheets. (Note: a version of this document applicable to the ASCE 7-05 Code was not available.)

11. This program contains numerous “comment boxes” which contain a wide variety of information including
explanations of input or output items, equations used, data tables, etc. (Note: presence of a “comment box” is

denoted by a “red triangle” in the upper right-hand corner of a cell. Merely move the mouse pointer to the
desired cell to view the contents of that particular "comment box".)
