2) calculate Wind load in kips at each floor/roof level for wind in the East-West Direction 3) calculate Wind load in kips at each floor/roof level for wind in the North-South Direction Pnet- 29psf a 30 b 20 a or b f- 1 B F Braced Frame Elevation View

Answer 1

PLEASE NOTE THAT 'h� VALUE IS NOT SPECIFIED AND I AM KEEPING THIS AS 'h� ONLY. E-W DIRECTION WIDTH OF BUIDING NORMAL TO THE WIND = 3a = 90� AT ROOF LEVEL: 1/2[29 psf times 90� times h/2] = 652.5h lb. = 0.653h kip. AT III-FLOUR LEVEL = 1/2[29 psf times 90� times h] = 1305h lb = 1.31h kip AT II-FLOUR LEVEL = 1/2 [psf times 90� times h] = 1305h lb = 1.31h kip. N-S DIRECTION WIDTH OF BUILDING NORMAL TO THE WIND = 3b = 60� AT ROOF LEVEL = 1/2[psf times 60� times h/2] = 435h lb = 0.435h kip. AT III-FLOUR LEVEL = 1/2[29 PSF TIMES 60� TIMES H] = 870H LB = 0.87H KIP AT II-FLOOR LEVEL = 1/2[29 PSF TIMES 60� TIMES H] = 870H LB = 0.87H KIP.
