Yes, slickdeals.
In the calculation of the Design Wind Pressure, the Basic Wind Speed is squared and the Wind Importance Factor is not. And it appears that ASCE 7-05 Commentary Table C6-7 presents values for the square root of the Wind Importance Factor--that is: [I,W]^(0.5).
So--albeit...
Thanks for the input.
I understand that the Basic Wind Speed is the Basic Wind Speed. That value can be taken from the published map or is set by the jursidiction. In this subject case, it is set by 2007 FBC Section 1620.2--that is: 146 m.p.h. (3-second gust) for Structures located in...
2007 Florida Building Code Section 1620 in entitled HIGH-VELOCITY HURRICANE ZONE--WIND LOADS.
Section 1620.1 states in full:
"Buildings and structures, and every portion thereof, shall be designed and constructed to meet the requirements of Section 6 of ASCE 7, as more specifically defined in...
I am looking for a reference that discusses the design and use of a telescopic splice connection of a Round HSS into another Round HSS.
I have seen this situation detailed in various ways, and
I write to ask for input.
Thanks much.
