Wind Load Analysis for Engineers

This document contains the input and output of a wind load analysis program for chimneys, stacks, and vertical tanks according to the ASCE 7-02 code. The program calculates wind loads at various heights up a structure based on input wind speed, structure height and dimensions, and other factors. It determines parameters needed to calculate the gust effect factor and outputs the wind loads, base shear, and base moment on the structure.
