ASCE 7-05 Wind Load Zone, Edge Distance a = ???
(OP)
How do you handle an L-shaped building?
The footprint of the building covers a rectangular area 153'-6" x 222'-8 1/2". One end of the "L" is 53' wide and the other end is 83' wide.
To compute the end zone limits or edge distance a, should I use 53', 83' or 153.5'?

How does an expansion joint affect the determination of wind loads?
