Wind Loads...Bldg with Parapet Wall
(OP)
What is considered the ridge height and eave height on a building with a parapet wall?
I have a building with a monoslope roof. Parapet is 5ft on the low side and 3 ft on the high side.
The actual frame has a low eave height of 52ft and max height on the high side of the monoslope of 55ft.
ASCE 7-05

After all, even for the latest revision, we are talking about an estimated projection of winds over the next 50 years, rounded to the nearest convenient 5 or 10 mph increment, based on fewer than 500 weather stations nationwide, some of which had as little as 5 years of historical wind records. And we almost all get the same non-hurricane wind speed.
