Jul 6, 2015 #2 JAE Structural Jun 27, 2000 15,432 0 36 US ASCE 7-10 is different than previous versions of 7 in that it now uses an "ultimate" wind force instead of a service level wind. So if you look at the ASCE 7-10 load combinations in the earlier chapters they now use 1.0W instead of 1.6W for factored combinations.
