Important Factor (I)
Buildings are classified as four
categories depend on the hazard
to human life in the event of failure.
The factor is used to adjust wind
speed associated with annual
probability of 0.02 (50-year MRI) to
other probabilities (25-year, 100-
year,others MRI).

Coefficient (K
z
)
The coefficient depends on the exposure categories and its
height above ground (Table 6-5):
Exposure A. large city center with at least 50% of building
having a height > 70 ft (21.3 m).
Exposure B. urban and suburban areas, wooden area, or
other terrain with numerous obstructions having the size of
single family dwelling or larger. The terrain that is in the
upwind direction with a distance at least 1,500 ft (460 m) or
10 times of the height of the building, whichever is greater.
Exposure C. open terrain.
Exposure D. wind flowing from open water for a distance at
least 1 mile (1.61 km); extending inland from the shoreline a
distance of 1,500 ft (460 m) or 10 times of the height of the
building, whichever is greater.

Design Wind Pressures or Loads
Gust Effect Factor (G)
For rigid building: natural frequency of vibration <1 Hz or ratio h/ least
horizontal dimension < 4, G = 0.85.
For flexible building: natural frequency of vibration > 1Hz or ratio h/
least horizontal dimension > 4, G
f
can be calculated by formula (ASCE
6.5.8.2).
Design Wind Pressure (p) or Loads (F)
Design procedure: simplified or analytical,
Enclosure classification: enclosed, partially enclosed or open (ASCE
6.2)
Building type: rigid or flexible; height of building,
Wind resisting systems: main wind force resisting system (MWFRS);
components & cladding,
Sign convention: positive pressure acts toward the surface and
negative pressure acts away from the surface.
Note: Wind Pressures (p) is applied when the structure is enclosed,
partially enclosed or for the components and cladding. Wind loads
(F) is applied for open structures.

Design Process
Planning: functional requirements of
the proposed structures
Preliminary design: estimate the
member sizes of the proposed
structures based on approximate
analysis, past experiences, and
code requirements
Loads estimate: consider all loads
may act on the structures and how
their load transfer
74
Design Process
Structural Analysis: analyze the structures
to determine the stresses or stress resultants
in the members and deflections at various
points of the structures
Safety and Serviceability Check:
determine whether the structures satisfied
the safety and serviceability of the design
codes. If yes, design drawings and
specifications are prepared and then
construction begins. If not, revise the
structural design
Revised Structural Design: either revise
materials or member sizes of the structures
