Wind exposure category in mountains
Wind exposure category in mountains
(OP)
Hi Everyone,
Wind exposure categories per ASCE do not directly address mountains. I am working on a residential project on a mountain with a slope of 42 degrees. The mountain is wooded.
Surface roughness B: ...wooded areas...
Surface roughness D: ...unobstructed areas...
What would you use?
Thanks!
