    U-shaped building

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone of you analyzed U-shaped building? I am trying to apply wind loads to the structure and I have a lot of doubts, especially in case, when wind force is perpendicular to shorter direction. 1) Am I right assuming, that main dimensions of the building will be L and...

    Various mean roof height

    I was hoping to receive suggestions on figuring out various mean roof heights in building (significant for wind load evaluation). Structure has mainly a flat roof, with attic walls on its perimeter. But in elevetors location there are two "pop-ups", that tower over basic roof level (11 ft...

    Torsional Wind Load Cses

    Thank you for the reply, I' m just wondering, how will structure react for superimposing that load case. In basic load case (before multiplying by 0.75) I have 206,3 lb/ft (for highest story). To obtain torsion, I applied trapezoidal load pattern (semirigid diaphragm)with values 15.5 and 294...

    ASCE 7-10 Wind Load - Cases

    I tried to get proper values of wind load pressure for torsional cases. However I obtained quite big values and I don't know if its correct approach. I assumed torsional loading pattern (for semirigid diaphragm). I used moment & force equilibrium equations, in order to get PWX1 and PWX2. Input...

    Torsional Wind Load Cses

    Could anyone explain to me Figure 27.4-8 in ASCE-10, showing torsional loading cases (2&4)? Should I put to the structure uniformly distributed load + MT, or only MT? That scheme is quite confusing to me. Thanks for any advice ;)

    ASCE 7-10 Wind Load - Cases

    Hi, I'm beginner user of ASCE Minimum Design Loads. After analysis of Wind Load Directional Procedure I've got some doubts concerning wind load cases. Firstly, I thought, that Figure 27.4-1 shows basic Wind Load case, with windward and leeward side wind load for walls and roofs. But then, I...
