[b]Wind: ASCE 7-16 versus 7-10[/b]
(OP)
Does anyone know changes made in ASCE 7-16 to wind load provisions? I'm aware of a change in wind speed maps. Does anyone know other changes?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: [b]Wind: ASCE 7-16 versus 7-10[/b]
Most of the changes in ASCE 7-16 deal with the seismic provisions. The Fa and Fv factors are overhauled as well as some site class classification issues.
The code will better clarify requirements for performance based designs and designing for fire. It also eliminates all those forsaken foot notes under the live old tables (NOW ONLY IF THE IBC WILL FIX THE FOOTNOTES UNDER THE DEFLECTION CRITERIA!).
