How do you calculate the wind loads (specifically, the uplift forces) on an enclosed building (36'L x 15'W x 12'H) that is resting 17' above water on 2 cantilevered beams? ASCE 7-10 shows how to do this with a building on solid ground, but how do you determine the effects of a 160-mph gust on a building with an exposed underside? Thanks for your help
