ASCE 7 Wind
ASCE 7 Wind
(OP)
Can anyone point me to where in ASCE 7 the "Load Case" in the third column in Figure 6-2 is specified? In the accompanying diagram (figure 6-2) they mention load case 2 in note 4 but I can find no place in the text of ASCE 7, Chapter 6 where Load Case 1 & 2 are directly specified in writing.






RE: ASCE 7 Wind
However, if you turn to Figure 6-9, there are four load cases there. This may be an entwinement of the two Methods, inadvertent or otherwise, that, admittedly, should be clarified better in Figure 6.2.

In ASCE 7-10, it says that "Where two load cases are shown, both load cases must be investigated. Load Case 2 is required to investigate maximum overturning on the building from the roof pressures shown."
