ASCE 7 Wind Method 1 & Method 2
ASCE 7 Wind Method 1 & Method 2
(OP)
In ASCE 7-02 (or 05), is it permissible to always use Method 2 no matter what the building height? Method 2 tables/figures say all building heights so I have always assumed that it is permissible.
For large metal building (low slope roof, h/L low), Method 2 results in significantly smaller uplift reaction to interior columns since C_p factor lowers as you move horizontally from the windward wall.
