Effective wind area ASCE-7-05
Effective wind area ASCE-7-05
(OP)
Hello,
If I have a continuous member (say 5 span) would I use the centre to centre of supports(individual spans) to calculate the effective area for windload calculations or would I use the entire length of the continuous member (5 spans)
It is definitely conservative to use individual span but is it permissible to use the entire span.
Thanks
