This revised and updated guide introduces readers to the relevant sections of the Standard and provides a comprehensive overview of the design procedures and the new wind speed maps. Wind Loads provides users with tools and insight to apply the Standard in everyday practice. Simplified methods of performing calculations for common situations were added to the Standard, and guidelines for components and cladding were gathered in a single chapter. The 2010 revision of the Standard significantly reorganized the wind load provisions, expanding them from one to six chapters. This helpful guide focuses on the wind load provisions of Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, Standard ASCE/SEI 7-10, that affect the planning, design, and construction of buildings for residential and commercial purposes. Green Building Council (USGBC) is transforming the way we design. 1.20% certain Article 10 deficiencies shall be mitigated by January 1. 30 2009 a request for review using HAZUS and the30. BASIC WIND SPEED, V: Three-second gust speed at 33 ft (10 m) above the ground in Exposure C (see Section 26.7.3) as determined in accordance with.

Chapter 26 WIND LOADS: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 26.2 DEFINITIONS The following defi nitions apply to the provisions of Chapters 26 through 31: APPROVED: Acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction.

ASCE 7-10 offers a complete update and reorganization of the wind load provisions, expanding them from one chapter into six to make them more understandable and easier to follow.

Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, ASCE/SEI 7-10, is a complete revision of ASCE Standard 7-05.

30.2.2 Minimum Design Wind Pressures The design wind pressure for components and cladding of buildings shall not be less than a net. CHAPTER 30 WIND LOADS - COMPONENTS AND CLADDING - Gust Effect Factor (Section 26.9) - Enclosure classification (Section 26.10) - Internal pressure coefficient (GCp ) (Section 26.11).
