    Relationship/ formula between safety factor/reliable index and return period of nominal windload

    Hi everyone, i am studying how to calculate wind load in ASCE 17, For each risk category, we have MRI( mean recurrence interval/return period ) accordingly. and for each life building in year, we have the probability of exceeding wind load. My question is: how to determine of safety...

    hi @dik, Thank for your advice, Intial design, i intend same as your intend, But this project, at a location, function is not same. So if we put a joint is make sense for this story, but make un-sense for other story, It's why, I need avoid expansion joint. because expansion joint will go...
