vshep...Thanks for the effort. You are right, I couldn't find it anywhere either.
BAretired...Good point, they are referenced; but unfortunately they don't provide the CpCg values in the same place.
vshep...if nobody knows of a filesharing link, then I may just need to get it the old fashioned way. Almost everything else imaginable is online, except this NBCC Part 4 Structural Commentaries user guide, which is a surprise to me.
woodman88...I agree with you, the commentaries are only a...
CRG....I have already gone through a long discussion on this topic already in this thread, which was not even the intention of this thread. Please note the subject of this thread is "Wind Loading" and the query is stated below. You are entitled to your opinion, but if you want to discuss this...
SkiisAndBikes....I didn't know they put the q values in the OBC compendium, but it's not a publication that I need, because the q values in the NBCC are just as good since they cover all cities.
woodman88...That's an interesting link. It appears to be the same as the OBC clauses. As you...
Ron & BAretired....you guys have created an ethical connection upon yourselves, and I think it's at your own loss. But we can agree to disagree? I think the best resolution is for you guys to respect your own views, while letting others respect theirs.
BAretired...the same is not for the...
BAretired....This discussion is not about engineering ethics in my opinion, but about copyright material that is distributed over the internet, and whether it should be illegal, and whether someone downloading material is doing something wrong. Personally, this is not a topic of discussion I...
Ron...to clarify: it's a business if you sell downloaded copyright material that you don't own the copyright too; which is illegal. But it's not considered a business to download and use information that you download.
It doesn't matter what your profession is, everyone needs to follow ethics...
SkiisAndBikes, I agree with you, a business should not have copyright material or pirated software, as this can be illegal. However, dl privately is not illegal in many countries.
I appreciate your comments.
Just because someone needs something once, doesn't mean they shouldn't be doing it. Remember, we all need to start at square one before we got to where we are now. As far as I know, Canada is a country that allows downloading from the internet, as do many other...
Yes, I mean Ontario Building Code and National Building Code of Canada. Unfortunately, the wind loading information is spread over many different codes, and I do not have the NBCC Part 4 Structural Commentaries. In many countries it is not illegal to download information, but I can understand...
I was looking through the OBC, and realized that values for q, Cp and Cg were not given. After getting the NBCC, I found the q value, but the Cp and Cg values were still missing. I realized now the values I need are in the NBCC Part 4 Structural Commentaries. Does anyone have the wind section...
