ASCE -7-10 components and cladding wind corner zones
ASCE -7-10 components and cladding wind corner zones
(OP)
I'm currently working on a project where one of the "corner" is 130°. I have searched everywhere in ASCE 7-10 to find out what the maximum angle can be for a wall zone to be considered a corner. Will I have to consider this area as a corner zone?

For 130 degree...perhaps not as much as a 90 degree....but you don't have anything else to go on except being conservative or paying for a wind tunnel test.
