Should I use MWFRS or C&C wind load for designing foundations of a building
(OP)
I am designing shallow foundations only for a building - which has no columns - it has channels at the bottom and cladding all around. The channels at the bottom will sit directly on the shallow foundations. Should I use MWFRS or C&C wind load to get the reactions at the bottom? I think I should use C&C wind load. Please confirm.

When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty but when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.

@manstrom - There are 14 shallow foundations supporting the entire building. Why should I use MWFRS?
Should I use C&C for the roof?

Use whatever you want.
