ASCE 7-05 Minimum Wind Load
ASCE 7-05 Minimum Wind Load
(OP)
For ASCE 7-05 - Method 2 Heights less than 60' what is the minimum wind pressure.
I was under the assumption that it would be 10psf, however I cannot find this provision in this section. It appears the only reference to a minimum is that you would neglect any net negative wind pressures. Does this sound correct or am I missing something?
In ASCE 7-10 they have a minimum 10psf on walls and 5psf on roofs (again I don't see this in -05 version).
Thanks!!

Note the ASCE7-10 minimum wind values are now 16 psf and 8 psf, not 10 and 5.

Yes, I was converting the wind pressures from ASCE 7-10.
