    Wind Load/Lateral Analysis (ASCE 7-02)

    Typo: A common thing I see in their lateral analysis is they use the equation: Ps=adjustment factor*Importance factor* simplified wind pressure for exposure B (Eq 6-1) for MWFRS even when it is in exposure C (They use this to compare it to V=CsW, to see which govern wind or seismic). Then...

    Wind Load/Lateral Analysis (ASCE 7-02)

    I am a recent graduate and I just started working in a residential firm. I have no work experience, but I have read the IBC and ASCE multiple times. The firm outsource the structural calculation (mostly residential) and architectural drawing, sometime the boss make me check it before he...

    Wind Load/Lateral Analysis (ASCE 7-02)

    Thanks, so MWFRS is for lateral analysis and C&C is for uplift? Is that right?

    Wind Load/Lateral Analysis (ASCE 7-02)

    For a structure that meets all the condition of Section 6.4 of ASCE 7-02, we use Method 1-"simplified procedure" for Lateral analysis: Ps=adjustment factor*Importance factor* simplified wind pressure for exposure B. What happens if the structure doesn't meet the condition, it meets the...

    Wood Structure House Check

    Thanks for everyone who commented. I know how to design a joist, beam, post...etc. We typically used ASCE in conjunction to IBC when designing a wood structure. We also use NDS. What I wanted to get from this was a list of topic of analysis. Like for example, Vertical Loads: -Gravity Loads...

    Wood Structure House Check

    What do we usually check for, when we are designing a wood structure house? (e.g. Seismic-Shear, Wind-Lateral/uplift, Gravity Load...) If you can list it down it would really help and the more detail the better. Thanks, Wil
