Roof shape and slope are both important parameters for the safety of a structure especially when facing wind loads.
Wind force on roof in longitudnal direction.
The load combinations for design are designated by the specific code required and are calculated and applied to the system in proportion to their mass.
The description of each exposure classification is detailed in section 26 7 2 and 26 7 3 of asce 7 10.
The critical lateral wind force in the longitudinal direction is given.
When building a structure it is important to calculate wind load to ensure that the structure can withstand high winds especially if the building is located in an area known for inclement weather.
Depending on the wind direction selected the exposure of the structure shall be determined from the upwind 45 sector.
The basic design wind speed v mph corresponds to a 3 second gust speed at 33 above ground in exposure category c and is associated with an annual probability of 0 02 of being equalled or exceeded 50 year mean recurrence interval.
Wind loads on non standard buildings asce 7 10 wind webinar series.
The lateral and longitudinal force resisting system is comprised of a series of steel moment resisting frames roof and floor diaphragms and side wall shear panels the hrsg is designed as a three dimensional system comprised of these components.
In the longitudinal direction when the force acts on the gable ends of the building the first component to interact with the load is the cladding materials sheeting.
What if the wind blows in the longitudinal direction.
The present study demonstrates the pressure variations due to wind load on the pyramidal roof of a square plan low rise building with 15 wall openings through cfd computational fluid dynamics simulation.
Components cladding wind load provisions roofs walls 3.
So the building is fine in the lateral direction.
The exposure to be adopted should be the one that will yield the highest wind load from the said direction.
The code wind load provisions for roof mounted equipment in asce7 10 2010 are primarily based on wind loads obtained from model scale wind tunnel measurements by hosoya et al 2001.
A find the unit shear in the shear segment along line 1 at the roof and 2nd floor level.

Wind tunnel applications for buildings 5.
Wood structural panel sheathing is designed to function as a shearwall.
In order for a structure to be sound and secure the foundation roof and walls must be strong and wind resistant.
Through which the force.
Studs are spaced 16 in.
In the longitudinal direction when the force acts on the gable ends of the building the first component to interact with the load is the cladding materials sheeting.
Many studies on roofed structures have been performed in the past.
