(OP)
Need help please, can anybody help me to find the basic wind speed in Lethbridge, Albert, Canada? I need work on a project over there. ASCE7-05 only gives US basic wind speed map.

Thank you very much.

I MAY have that information for you though I can only dig it up when I am back at home.

RE: Lethbridge, Albert, Canada basic wind speed

StructLin,

for LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA(Canada) the wind pressure is as follows:

For 1/50 value =0.82 kpa( equivalent to 35.6m/s wind speed)

For 1/10 value =0.64 kpa( equivalent to 31.5m/s wind speed)

Snow load(1/50)= 1.2 kpa
Associated Rain= 0.1 kpa

Hope this will help.

Don;t forget the gust factors as well- we did a project in Lethbridge and holy man, were the wind loads ever high!
