Wind loads : guide to the wind load provisions of ASCE 7-10 / Kishor C. Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data Mehta, Kishor C. Wind Loads Guide to the Wind Load Provisions of ASCE 7-10 Kishor C. This book is an essential reference for practicing structural engineers, as it offers the most authoritative and in-depth interpretation of the wind loads section of Standard ASCE/SEI 7-10. The guide also answers more than 30 frequently asked questions, grouped by topic.
Ten chapters with 14 worked examples demonstrate the appropriate use of analytical and simplified procedures for calculating wind loads for a variety of common structure types. This revised and updated guide introduces readers to the relevant sections of the Standard and provides a comprehensive overview of the design procedures and the new wind speed maps.
This book provides users with tools and insight to apply the Standard in everyday practice. Simplified methods of performing calculations for common situations were added to the Standard, and guidelines for components and cladding were gathered in a single chapter. The 2010 revision of the Standard significantly reorganized the wind load provisions, expanding them from one to six chapters. This helpful guide focuses on the wind load provisions of Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, Standard ASCE/SEI 7-10, that affect the planning, design, and construction of buildings for residential and commercial purposes.
