Elevation A-A

Ao (Opening Area) = 3.00 * 4.00 = 12 m2

Ag (Gross Area)= 10.00*6.00 + 0.5*10*0.5 =62.5 m2
Aoi (sum of opening area not including Ao ) =3.00 * 4.00 + 1.20*1.20*18 = 37.92 m2
Agi (sum of opening area not including Ag ) = 62.5 + 30.00*6.00*2 = 422.5 m2

Ao / Aoi = 12/37.92 = 0.316 Ao < 1.10 Aoi

Ao / Ag = 12 / 62.5 = 0.192 Ao > 0.37 m2 , > 0.01Ag
Aoi / Agi = 37.92 / 422.5 = 0.089 Aoi / Agi < 0.2

 Wind Load as Per ASCE 7-10
- Basic wind speed ……………………...…………… 160 km/h = 45 m/s.
- Height roof max ……………………………………….… 22 m = 75 ft.
- Exposure C.
- Importance factor I=1.0 (category II).
- Velocity pressure qh .
- Slope 5º

qh = 0.613 Kz Kzt Kd V2 I (N/m2 – V in m/s)

- Kz = 0.92 (table 27.3-1 exposure C and height 22 ft)
- Kzt = 1.0 (see 6.5.7.2)
- Kd = 0.85 (table 6-4)
qh = 0.613*0.92*1.0*0.85*452*1.0 = 971 N/m2
= 97.1 kg/m2
- Design wind pressure as per ASCE 7-05 ch. 6.5.12.2.2
- P = qh* [(GCpf) - (GCpi)] (N/m2).

- Roof Load:
- GCpf, windward = -0.69 external pressure coefficient as per Figure 28.4-1 for slope of
5º and zone 2.
- GCpf, leeward = -0.48 external pressure coefficient as per Figure 28.4-1 for slope of
5º and zone 3.
- GCpf, Side Walls = -0.45 external pressure coefficient as per Figure 28.4-1 for
Surface 5 & 6 .
- GCpi = ±0.18 internal pressure coefficient as per Figure 26.11-1.

- Roof Wind Pressure:

- P1 = 97.1 * (-0.69 - 0.18) = -84.96 kg/m2 -

windward
- P2 = 97.1* (-0.37 - 0.18) = -53.4 kg/m2 -
leeward

- Wall Load:
- GCpf, windward = +0.40 external pressure coefficient as per Figure 28.4-1 for slope
of 5º and zone 1.
- GCpf, leeward = -0.29 external pressure coefficient as per Figure 28.4-1 for slope of
5º and zone 4.
- GCpi = ±0.18 internal pressure coefficient as per Figure 26.11-1.

- Roof Wind Pressure:

- P1 = 97.1 * (+0.40 + 0.18) = -56.30 kg/m2 - windward

- P2 = 97.1* (-0.29 - 0.18) = -45.63 kg/m2 – leeward
- P3=97.1*(-0.45-0.18) = -61.2 kg/m2 – Side Walls
