    Velocity Pressure Equation

    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? Also...

    Velocity Pressure Equation

    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...
