Asce 7 10 provides two methods for wind load calculation.
Mean roof height asce 7.
Interior field perimeter and corner see figure 3.
For intermediate values of vasd the height associated with the next higher value of vasd shall be used or direct interpolation is permitted.
These changes affect how you determine wind uplift resistance.
Explanation of asce 7 05 asce 7 10 and asce 7 16.
Mean roof height mrh ft this is needed to determine canopy pressure.
Figure asce 7 95 external pressure coefficients gcp for loads on building components and cladding for enclosed or partially enclosed buildings with mean roof height h less than or equal to 60 ft 18 m.
Mean roof height asce 7 per asce 7 the mean roof height h is defined as the average of the roof eave height and the height to the highest point on the roof surface except that for roof angles of less than or equal to 10 the mean roof height is permitted to be taken as the roof eave height.
Field perimeter and corner see figure 2.
For si 1 foot 304 8 mm.
Mean eave height ft select yes if within 90 of height at.
In some cases not shown in table 1 such as for zone 1 the revised coefficients produce an approximate doubling of roof pressures.
Np gravel and stone not permitted for any roof height.
See help glossary link above for explanation.
Asce 7 16 wind velocity to pressure hover click labels see help images at bottom.
We shall only calculate the design wind pressures for purlins and wall studs.
Visually aama tir a15 14 illustrates the mean roof height as per the image below where h on the sloped roof is ridge height eave height 2.
Asce 7 16 also.
Gc p can be determined for a multitude of roof types depicted in figure 30 4 1 through figure 30 4 7 and figure 27 4 3 in chapter 30 and chapter 27 of asce 7 10 respectively.

The wind speeds correspond to 3 second gust speeds at 33 ft above ground for exposure c category.
1 mile per hour 0 447 m s.
This is the average roof height of the main residence from the peak to the eave.
Mean roof height as defined in asce 7.
The simplified procedure is for building with a simple diaphragm roof slope less than 10 degrees mean roof height less than 30 feet 9 meters regular shape rigid building no expansion joints flat terrain and not subjected to special wind condition.
The dimensions of the zones are mostly determined by a building s length and width.
Asce 7 16 added another zone and it presents the potential to have four roof zones.
A simplified procedure and an analytical procedure.
