ASCE 7-05 Open Buildings - Case A vs. B?
ASCE 7-05 Open Buildings - Case A vs. B?
(OP)
This is probably a dumb question, but what is the difference between Case A and Case B for Open Building MWFRS calculations. 7-05 Figure 6-18 indicates the load cases but I cannot find an explanation. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick

Wondered that myself, as there is no explanation in ASCE 7's code or commentary. I agree with slickdeals that Cases A & B represent the extremes between uplift and down force.
