ASCE7-98, 6.5.7 Topographic Effects
x = 250
H = 50
= H/2
Lh = 600
Height above local ground z = 15 ft
Hill Shape 3-dimentional axisym
Exposure B
Height of hill, H= 50 ft < 60, Topographic Effects shall not be included###
Distance upwind of crest to where the
difference in ground elevation is half the
height of hill, Lh = 600 ft 2-dimensional ridge
H/Ln = 0.08 < 0.2, Topographic Effects shall not
2-dimensional
be included escarpments
calculate K1 by using H/Ln = 0.08 3-dimentional axisym
Distance from the crest to the building, x = 250 ft x/Lh = 0.42
from ASCE-7-98, Figure 6-2, K1/(H/Lh) = 0.95 K1 = 0.08
calculate K2, K3 by using Ln = 600
K2 = 1 - x/µLh µ= 1.5
K2 = 0.72
K3 = e-γz/Lh γ= 4
K3 = 0.90
