simplified wind design in ASCE 7-05 for bldgs with parapets?
(OP)
See ASCE 7-05 section 6.4.1.1, note #7.
This says that the simplified method for wind design can be used for buildings with either a flat roof or gable roof. Does this mean that flat roof buildings with parapets can be analyzed using the simplified method?
Some city reviewers are saying that method 2 (analytical procedure) must be used for all buildings with parapets, and I'm not sure if that was the intent of the code.
