I do have a very basic question about calculating wind uplift.
I'm working on a shear wall which has two openings along its length. How should I calculate wind uplift if I choose a segmented shear wall approach? Should the wind uplift be divided between three shear walls? I've calculated my wind pressure, just want to know what would be the wall tributary area to calculate wind uplift.
I'm very confused! I truly appreciate if you can give me an idea either by your comments or sending some example cals.
Thanks!
