ASCE 7-16 Figure 30.5-1 1

Does anyone know if there are equations for ASCE 7-16 Figure 30.5-1 like the ones shown in section C30.3 or if there are references to where the data was taken to produce this figure. I wanted to program a spreadsheet without having to rely on the graph and interpolation but saw that there are no equations shown for this case (h>60 ft).

The "Guide to the Use of the Wind Load Provisions of ASCE7-02" has the formulas. Newer version should have it as well. They are in the same form as the other formulas ( constant + coefficient * log( area ) ).

Thanks, I found them in page 18 of the "Guide to the Use of the Wind Load Provisions of ASCE 7-16".
