Wind Load On Walls & Buildings

[Matador]

I am doing some wind load calculations using the Canadian Building Code, The formula for wind load is striaght forward but I can't find the value for exposure factor used in the formula.

Does anyone know where I can get this information or where I can find some sample calculations or an Excel spreadsheet.


Thanks

Matador,

I found a site that I referenced for a combined height, exposure, and gust factor.

I don't know if this will help you because I doubt this pertains to Canadian building code, but at least compare the equation they use with the one you have and see if there is any correlation. Hope this helps.

good luck,
ZTM

There are some sample calculations at the website for the APA -american plywood association. Also, the International Building code has sample calculations
