Thanks for your answer frv! I knew that i was wrong in something. But i do not understang how did the ASCE7 established that minimum load (scientifically, in a equation o if it is a convention like charliealphabravo says)
I'm trying to understand how can a define a minimum load for my country...
Thanks for the answers!
I really wanted to know if this "10 psf" are some kind of conventionally number tipically or if it has a scientific meaning.
I'm studing to implement this standard in Chile ( with other velocities, the minimim is 30m/s) and thats why i'm asking for. If i have a low...
I don't understand the definition of the minimum load on the ASCE7-05.
The minimum wind load (10psf or 480 N/m2 )needs to be applied horizontally to the entire vertical projection of the building.
I know that the preassure is proportionally to the V^2, but i want to know how did the ASCE7...

I would like to re-open this thread. I'm trying to compare the base shear forces with the ASCE7-05 simplified and analytical method.
NJEngineer said that that the simplified procedure cames from the analytical method, but there's no sin/cos function to obtain the correct wind...
thank you both for your answers, ok so I can design the MWFRS with the 10psf all over the height, but what happen with the roof? Should I use the pressures 2 and 3 or a bigger?
OldPaperMaker, thank you for your answer. I read the commentary and understand that for low rise building it's more precise the method for h<60ft (figure 6-10).
But my second question I still don't understand what I have to do. In the figure C6-1 it's clear that you need to apply 10 psf as a...
I would be grateful if you can help me to solve some doubts, about the ASCE-7-05. I'm trying to obtain the loads for a low-rise building with the most precise method.
1. In the analytical method, there is in Figure 6-10 a way to obtain the External Pressure Coefficient (Cp) for low-rise...
