thanks for the help SlideRuleEra and racookpe1978.
i read somewhere that to find the uplift forces due to wind underneath the house, just treat the floor like a roof overhand and Cp = 0.8. However, if i do it this way, the uplift force is greater than the force of the wind hitting the...
Water pressure effects aren't part of my scope - just the wind loads. Can you direct me to where i should be looking in ASCE that shows how to calculate the loads on this type of building configuration?
How do you calculate the wind loads (specifically, the uplift forces) on an enclosed building (36'L x 15'W x 12'H) that is resting 17' above water on 2 cantilevered beams? ASCE 7-10 shows how to do this with a building on solid ground, but how do you determine the effects of a 160-mph gust on a...
