Wind exposure transition zone

Wind exposure transition zone

Wind exposure transition zone

(OP)
ASCE 7-05 6.5.6.3 says, "An intermediate exposure between the preceding categories is permitted in a transition zone provided that it is determined by a rational analysis method defined in the recognized literature"

I need to use this provision to reduce loads for my current project.  Does anyone know of such "analysis methods defined in the recognized literature"?

Thanks

RE: Wind exposure transition zone

The "recognized literature" would be the references given in ASCE 7.  Check those for specific direction.
