MINIMUM DESIGN LOADS

Components and Cladding h 60 ft.


Figure 30.4-1 External Pressure Coefficients, GCp
Enclosed, Partially Enclosed Buildings Walls

Notes:
1. Vertical scale denotes GCp to be used with qh.
2. Horizontal scale denotes effective wind area, in square feet (square meters).
3. Plus and minus signs signify pressures acting toward and away from the surfaces, respectively.
4. Each component shall be designed for maximum positive and negative pressures.
5. Values of GCp for walls shall be reduced by 10% when 10.
6. Notation:
a: 10 percent of least horizontal dimension or 0.4h, whichever is smaller, but not less than either 4%
of least horizontal dimension or 3 ft (0.9 m).
h: Mean roof height, in feet (meters), except that eave height shall be used for 10.
: Angle of plane of roof from horizontal, in degrees.

CHAPTER 30 WIND LOADS COMPONENTS AND CLADDING

Components and Cladding h > 60 ft.


Figure 30.6-1 External Pressure Coefficients, GCp
Enclosed, Partially Enclosed Buildings Walls & Roofs

Notes:
1. Vertical scale denotes GCp to be used with appropriate qz or qh.
2. Horizontal scale denotes effective wind area A, in square feet (square meters).
3. Plus and minus signs signify pressures acting toward and away from the surfaces, respectively.
4. Use qz with positive values of GCp and qh with negative values of GCp.
5. Each component shall be designed for maximum positive and negative pressures.
6. Coefficients are for roofs with angle 10. For other roof angles and geometry, use GCp values
from Fig. 30.4-2A, B and C and attendant qh based on exposure defined in Section 26.7.
7. If a parapet equal to or higher than 3 ft (0.9m) is provided around the perimeter of the roof with
10, Zone 3 shall be treated as Zone 2.
8. Notation:
a: 10 percent of least horizontal dimension, but not less than 3 ft (0.9 m).
h: Mean roof height, in feet (meters), except that eave height shall be used for 10.
z: height above ground, in feet (meters).
: Angle of plane of roof from horizontal, in degrees.
