Wind Tunnel Study and ASCE 7
Wind Tunnel Study and ASCE 7
(OP)
A wind tunnel study was done for a high rise condominum complex in Philadelphia, PA. The wind tunnel study was done by a Candian firm. The Candian Building Code requires the wind tunnel study to include an addtional 2 psf for mechanical effects and 4psf/100m of building height for stack effect. ASCE 7 to my knowledge does not address theses additional loads. Are the additional loads applicable in the US? Can I reduce my loads?
