Hey guys,
Thanks for the prompt reply. They're using a state building code that references ASCE 7-10. I'm disturbed that the building code official I spoke with has told me that the design wind speed is 90mph. Regardless, which value should I be using in the equation for V, 90 or 115?

Hi everyone,
I'm analyzing a machine to be mounted atop a building, and need to determine the wind load acting on the machine. In ASCE 7-10, the equation for velocity pressure qz is
qz = 0.00256*kz*kzt*kd*V^2
In this equation, what value is V: Vult (from the basic wind speed map) or Vasd...
