simplified wind load procedure
simplified wind load procedure
(OP)
In ASCE7-98 when using the simplified wind load procedure, a consideration in the tables has been made for enclosed and partially enclosed buildings. In the 2000 IBC procedure for simplified wind loads, it does not appear that the difference between enclosed and partially enclosed buildings has has been considered. Can someone explain why this is, or am I missing something? With the IBC 2000, can I use the the simplified method regardles of the building enclosure classification? Why are they different?

IBC 2003 has revised the introduction to 1609.6.1 to read... like....that the simplified method shall be used for enclosed buildings with flat, gabled......
Good luck
