I am trying to covert wind speeds to ASD using the newer codes. I have a few questions:
1) One can convert wind speeds from the wind maps using the equation sqrt(0.6)*V or Table 1609.3.1 in IBC. However a 0.6 wind factor is already applied to the ASD load combinations (D+0.6W). Do I covert the wind loads first to ASD (for say deflection checks), but then also apply the 0.6 load combination when checking stress?
2) Do I have to convert the concurrent wind (with ice) loads in Table 10.5-1 to ASD?
