procedure where a modification would be applied, but the user is referred to ASCE
7-98 for the determination of the appropriate factor.
The minimum design load for the main wind force resisting system is stipulated in
Section 6.1.4.1 of ASCE 7-98 as follows:
The wind load to be used in the design of the main wind force resisting system
for an enclosed or partially enclosed building or other structure shall not be
less than 10 psf multiplied by the area of the building or projected onto a
vertical plane normal to the assumed wind direction. The design wind force for
open buildings shall not be less than 10 psf multiplied by the area Af.
The minimum design load for components and cladding is stipulated in Section
6.1.4.2 of ASCE 7-98 as follows:
The design wind pressure for components and cladding of buildings shall be not
less than a net pressure of 10 psf acting in either direction normal to the
surface.
1.4.1 Velocity Pressure
The velocity pressure, qh, used to compute the design wind pressures is
calculated according to the following procedure:
1. Select Basic Wind Speed, V, for building location (See ASCE 7-98,
Figure 6-1 or IBC 2000, Figure 1609). [Note: See Section IX of this
Manual for a county listing of the basic wind speed.]
2. Select Importance Factor, Iw (See Table 1.1a)
3. Select Exposure Category (A, B, C, or D - See Definitions, Section
1.4.4)
4. Compute the Velocity Pressure, qh, based on the mean roof height (or
eave height if 10). See Table 1.4.1(a) and 1.4.1(b) for tabulated
values of qh for Exposure B and C, respectively.

(Eq. 1.4.2)
where,
p
= Design wind pressure in pounds per square foot (psf).
qh = Velocity pressure in pounds per square foot (psf).
GCpf = External pressure coefficient from Figure 6-4, ASCE
7-98.
GCpi = Internal pressure coefficient from Table 6-7, ASCE 798
1.4.3 Design Pressure Components and Cladding
The design wind pressure used for components and cladding is computed as
follows:
Select the appropriate External Pressure Coefficient GCp from Figures 6-5
through 6-7 in ASCE 7-98, and the appropriate Internal Pressure
Coefficient GCpi from Table 6-7 in ASCE 7-98. Alternately, Tables
1.4.6(a) through 1.4.6(h) in this Manual provide convenient equations for
the combined external and internal pressure coefficients, [(GCp) - (GCpi)].
Compute the design pressure using the following equation:
p = qh[(GCp) - (GCpi)]
(Eq. 1.4.3)
where,
p
= Design wind pressure in pounds per square foot (psf).
qh = Velocity pressure in pounds per square foot (psf).
GCp = External pressure coefficient from Figures 6-5
through 6-7, ASCE 7-98.
GCpi = Internal pressure coefficient from Table 6-7, ASCE 798
