AT FULL HEIGHT ()
qz= 0.613 Kz Kzt Kd V2
qz= 3.442 KPa
AT MEAN ROOF HEIGHT
qh = 0.613 Kz Kzt Kd V
qh= 3.367 KPa
WHEREIN:
Kz= VELOCITY PRESSURE COEFFICIENT
Kz at total height = 1.34
Kz at mean height = 1.37
Kzt= TOPOGRAPHIC FACTOR
Kzt = 1
Kd = Wind Directionality Factor
Kd = 0.85 G = gust-effect factor, see Section 207A.
V = BASIC WIND SPEED Cp = external pressure coefficient from figures
250 KPH 207B.4-1, 207B.4-22 AND 207B.4-3
23 M V= 69.44 m/s
21 M GCpi = internal pressure coefficient from Table
DESIGN WIND PRESSURE FOR MWFRS (ENCLOSED AND 207A.11-1
50 M PARTIALLY ENCLOSED RIGID BUILDINGS)
80 M
p = qGCp - qi(Gcpi) (N/m2) (207B.4-1)
2 M WIND PRESSURE AT ROOF BEAM:
7 DEGREES WHERE:
(WINDWARD Cp = 0.8)
qi = qh for windward walls, side walls, leeward walls,
and roofs of enclosed buildings and for negative P = (3.442 x 0.85 x 0.8) – (3.367 x 0.18)
internal pressure evaluation in partially enclosed
P = 1.73 kPa
building

F = (1.73)( + )( 3 )
qi = qz for positive internal pressure evaluation in 2 2
partially enclosed buildings where height z is defined
as the level of the highest opening in the building that F = 20.241 KN

could affect the positive internal pressure. For
building sited in wand-borne debris region, glazing
that is not impact resistant or protected with an (LEEWARD Cp = -0.3)
impact resistant covering shall be treated as an
P = (3.367 x 0.85 x -0.3) – (3.442 x -0.18)
opening in accordance with Section 207A.10.3.
P = 0.24 kPa
For positive internal pressure evaluation, qi may
conservatively be evaluated at height h(qi = qh). 7 5
F = (0.24)( + )( 3 )
2 2
q = qh for leeward walls, side walls, and roofs,
evaluated at height h. F = 4.32 KN
q = qz for windward walls evaluated at height z above
the ground. USE FOR 2ND, 3RD AND 4TH FLOOR BEAMS
