LA California wind load

[COEngineeer]

on CBC wind map it is showing that LA is in special wind region. Can someone tell me what the wind load is? I searched their website and cant find anything. I was on hold forever and had to hang up because I had to go somewhere. Anyone?

Never, but never question engineer's judgement

You should contact the city you are doing work in they will tell you the wind speed they use.

At of curiosity I did a search on a website just referred by a previous thread which gives windspeed and LA did come up in special wind speed.

What is CBC? Did you mean IBC?

California building code. I did call but did not take me anywhere.

Way off-topic.

It's a pain I know, I had to call LA about wind speed on a project a week or two ago, an hour just to get code min. wind speed. lol But cities should have a wind study on record when they are in special wind regions.
