ASCE 7-10 Wind Load Calculation

The document outlines the 7 step process to calculate windload on a building according to ASCE-7-10 standards. It involves determining the risk category, basic wind speed, windload parameters, velocity pressure exposure, velocity pressure, external pressure coefficients, and calculating wind pressure. The building is categorized as risk category II with a wind speed of 45 m/sec and enclosure class of enclosed office building. Exposure category is C. Calculations are shown to determine velocity pressures and wind pressures on zones 4 and 5 of the building under various coefficients.
