All,
I am trying to get the wind loading for a tank. In ASCE 7 (past and present) it appears in Figure 29.5-1 that the designer is to multiply D*√q[sub]z[/sub]. However, in a reference webinar I was looking through he divided D/√q[sub]z[/sub]. I have attached a screenshot of the webinar example. So should I divide or multiply? Dividing makes more sense to me, but I have also found other sources that appear to multiply. I have looked through the last several versions of ASCE 7 and they all have the same figure.
Thanks in advance!
