Does anyone know where at ASCE 7-05 referencing wind load for cooling towers?
What section of ASCE 7-05 do I use to calculate their wind load?
Does their curve surfce make no difference in using ASCE tables and equestions?

Thank you

Thank you for your response but as I stated in my post, I am using ASCE 7-05.
May I ask where I can find it in ASCE 7-05?


Thank you
 
My apologies I overlooked that part of your question.
ASCE 7-05, Ch. 6.5.15 and corresponding tables (you will find that they match)
