Storm Shelter Design wind speeds and ASCE 7-10 vs 7-05
Storm Shelter Design wind speeds and ASCE 7-10 vs 7-05
(OP)
Has anyone used ICC 500-2014 or FEMA P-361(2015) for the design of storm shelters? My question is regarding the wind speeds as they have not changed. 7-10 increased the wind speeds to increase the loads to an ultimate level....so when you use the same wind speed as would have been used under the 7-05 code, you will come up with a smaller wind pressure. Has anyone else questioned this? Maybe I am missing something. Any insight would be great. Thanks!

In other words, you should not get smaller pressures under ASCE7-10 because you should have been factoring down the ASCE7-05 results to reflect the ultimate-level FEMA wind speed.
