Looking for Basic wind speed data for Ontario
Looking for Basic wind speed data for Ontario
(OP)
We're talking with an American engineering firm about some structural design work. They need the 'basic wind speed' - fastest 3 sec gust in past 50 years to calculate the wind load. I can't seem to find this data on the internet anywhere. Where should I be looking ? Wind Atlas ?
Incidentally a also need to find the snow load data for the sites. Again, nothing on the internet. Should I call local building authorities ?

Do not use ASCE patch up some where. I tried to do it before and is not a good idea to me.
