Hello,
I was wondering if anyone of you analyzed U-shaped building? I am trying to apply wind loads to the structure and I have a lot of doubts, especially in case, when wind force is perpendicular to shorter direction.
1) Am I right assuming, that main dimensions of the building will be L and...
I was hoping to receive suggestions on figuring out various mean roof heights in building (significant for wind load evaluation). Structure has mainly a flat roof, with attic walls on its perimeter. But in elevetors location there are two "pop-ups", that tower over basic roof level (11 ft...
Could anyone explain to me Figure 27.4-8 in ASCE-10, showing torsional loading cases (2&4)?
Should I put to the structure uniformly distributed load + MT, or only MT?
That scheme is quite confusing to me.
Thanks for any advice ;)
Hi,
I'm beginner user of ASCE Minimum Design Loads.
After analysis of Wind Load Directional Procedure I've got some doubts concerning wind load cases.
Firstly, I thought, that Figure 27.4-1 shows basic Wind Load case, with windward and leeward side wind load for walls and roofs.
But then, I...
