Classification of Buildings
Use or Occupancy of Buildings and Structures Risk Category
Buildings and other structures that represent a low risk to human life in the event of I
failure:
All buildings and other structures except those listed in Risk Categories I, III, and IV II
Buildings and other structures, the failure of which could pose a substantial risk to III
human life.
Buildings and other structures, not included in Occupancy Category IV, with potential
to cause a substantial economic impact and/or mass disruption of day-to-day
civilian life in the event of failure
Buildings and other structures not included in Risk Category IV (including, but not
limited to, facilities that manufacture, process, handle, store, use, or dispose of
such substances as hazardous fuels, hazardous chemicals, hazardous waste, or
explosives) containing toxic or explosive substances where the quantity of the
material exceeds a threshold quantity established by the authority having
jurisdiction and is sufficient to pose a threat to the public if released.
Buildings and other structures designated as essential facilities. IV
Buildings and other structures, the failure of which could pose a substantial hazard to
the community.
Buildings and other structures (including, but not limited to, facilities that
manufacture, process, handle, store, use, or dispose of such substances as
hazardous fuels, hazardous chemicals, or hazardous waste) containing sufficient
quantities of highly toxic substances where the quantity exceeds a threshold
quantity established by the authority having jurisdiction to be dangerous to the
public if released and is sufficient to pose a threat to the public if released.a
Buildings and other structures required to maintain the functionality of other
Category IV structures.
1.5.1 Risk Categorization. Buildings and other structures shall be
classified, based on the risk to human life, health and welfare associated with
their damage or failure by nature of their occupancy or use, according to Table
1-1 for the purposes of applying flood, wind, snow, earthquake, and ice
provisions. Each building or other structure shall be assigned to the highest
applicable risk category or categories. Minimum design loads for structures
shall incorporate the applicable Importance Factors given in Table 1-2, as
required by other Sections of this Standard. Assignment of a building or other
structure to multiple risk categories based on the type of load condition being
evaluated (e.g., wind or seismic) shall be permitted.
When the building code or other referenced standard specifies an

Occupancy Category, the Risk Category shall not be taken as lower than the
Occupancy Category specified therein.

Guidance on what types of buildings might fall into each Risk
Category is now gone from the body of the standard.
Examples are still provided in the Commentary.
Elimination of the specific examples of buildings that fall

into each category has the benefit that it eliminates the
potential for conflict between the standard and locally
adopted codes and also provides individual communities and
development teams the flexibility to interpret acceptable risk
for individual projects.

Reorganization of Wind Provisions
 New organization (based on the more

user-friendly multi-chapter seismic
provisions):
 6 new Chapters (Chapters 26-31)
 Flowcharts on how to use in each chapter
 Intent is to clarify the applicability of the
wind provisions

 Chapter 26 – General Requirements

 Chapter 27 – MWFRS Directional Procedure
 Chapter 28 – MWFRS Envelope Procedure
 Chapter 29 – MWFRS Other Structures and
Appurtenances
 Chapter 30 – Components and Cladding
 Chapter 31 – Wind Tunnel Procedure

 Chapter 26 – General Requirements

 Scoping
 Definitions
 Wind speed map
 Exposure
 Gust factor
 Topographic factor

MWRFS Directional Procedure
 Buildings of all heights (old Figure 6-6,
new Figure 27.4-1)

MWFRS Directional Procedure
“A procedure for determining wind loads on buildings

and other structures for specific wind directions, in
which the external pressure coefficients utilized are
based on past wind tunnel testing of prototypical
building models for the corresponding direction of
wind.”

MWRFS Envelope Procedure
 Buildings  60 ft (old Figure 6-10, new
Figure 28.4-1)

MWFRS Envelope Procedure
“A procedure for determining wind load cases on

buildings, in which pseudo external pressure coefficients
are derived from past wind tunnel testing of prototypical
building models successively rotated through 360
degrees, such that the pseudo pressure cases produce
key structural actions (uplift, horizontal shear, bending
moments, etc.) that envelop their maximum values
among all possible wind directions.”

 Chapter 27 – MWFRS Directional Procedure

 Part 1: Buildings of all heights method
 Part 2: New simplified method for simple
diaphragm buildings  160 ft

 Chapter 28 – MWFRS Envelope Procedure

 Part 1: Low-rise ( 60 ft) buildings method
 Part 2: Simplified method for low-rise ( 60
ft) simple diaphragm buildings

 Chapter 29 – MWFRS Other Structures

and Appurtenances
 Signs
 Rooftop structures
 Other structures

 Chapter 30 – Components and Cladding

1. Envelope method for h ≤ 60 ft
2. Simplified method for h ≤ 60 ft
3. Directional method for h > 60 ft
4. Simplified method for h ≤ 160 ft
5. Analytical method for open buildings of all
heights
6. Building appurtenances and roof top
structures
 Chapter 31 – Wind Tunnel Procedure

New Wind Speed Maps
 New data and data analysis indicate current

ASCE 7 hurricane wind speeds are generally
conservative
 Introduction of ultimate wind speed maps
 LRFD Wind Load Factor = 1.0
 ASD Wind Load Factor = 0.6
 Specific maps for each building category

Facts About the ASCE 7-05 Wind Speed Map
 In most of the non-hurricane US mainland,

the mapped values represented a 50-year
mean recurrence interval
 In hurricane regions, the mapped values
varied from 50 to 100 years along the
hurricane coastline
 Wind speeds along the hurricane coastline
had been adjusted upward so that when
incorporated with the wind LF, produce a
wind load having a consistent hazard level
with the interior US (700 MRI)

Why Change the Map?
 Current hybrid pseudo MRI Map – confusing

 Designers, students, clients
 Most Users Don’t Know
 LF =1.6: 700 yr MRI “ultimate wind speed”
 Importance Factor of 1.15: 1700 yr MRI
 Update for new hurricane model
 Provide 3 Maps:
 300 yr (Cat 1), 700 yr (Cat 2) 1700 yr (Cat 3,4)
 Eliminate Wind Importance Factors

New Hurricane Model Summary
 New intensity model includes ocean mixing to limit
hurricane intensity (defined by central pressure)
 New statistical model for Holland B parameter
(yields lower wind speeds than 2000 model)
 New filling (storm weakening after landfall) model
 New wind field model
 100,000 year simulation vs. 20,000 in the old map
 Map developed using 2851 pts vs. 208 in the old map

New Wind Speed Maps
 Specific maps for each building category
 Category II buildings – 700 year return period wind
speed
 Category III and IV buildings – 1700 year return
period wind speeds
 Category I buildings – 300 year return period wind
speeds
 Importance Factor no longer required
 Serviceability maps (10, 25, 50 and 100 year) to
be included in Appendix C

2. Linear interpolation between contours is permitted.
3. Islands and coastal areas outside the last contour shall use the last wind speed contour of the coastal area.
4. Mountainous terrain, gorges, ocean promontories, and special wind regions shall be examined for unusual wind conditions.
5. Wind speeds correspond to approximately a 7% probability of exceedance in 50 years (Annual Exceedance Probability = 0.00143, MRI = 700 Years).

 Exact Mapping (new 700 year map)
 120√1.6=152~150
 110√1.6=139~140
 New Standard
 V > 140 or 130 within one mile of coast
 Results in less area within WBD Region
than the existing standard

Reintroduction of Exposure D in
Hurricane- Prone Regions
 Older research and modeling suggested

roughness of ocean approached
Exposure C with increase in wind speed
 Hence ASCE 7-98, -02, and -05
classified water surfaces in hurricane-
prone regions as Exposure C

Reintroduction of Exposure D in
Hurricane- Prone Regions
 New research suggests hurricane
coastline matches the exposure
description for Exposure D
 Roughness of ocean does not
continue to increase with increasing
wind speed.

Summary of Wind Maps
 Use individual maps for structures with
different life-safety concerns rather than using
Importance Factors
 A 1.0 load factor for LRFD (same as Seismic)
 A 0.6 load factor for ASD design
 The result is consistent with the intent of ASCE
7-98 and better represents life-safety
objectives
 Exposure D must be used on hurricane
coastlines
 Serviceability wind load maps are in Appendix
C
New Simplified Procedure
 Applicable to buildings less than or

equal to 160 ft in height
 Simple diaphragm buildings
 Frequency limitations and torsional
limitations
 Tabular loads for MWFRS and
Components and Cladding

Simplified Wind Design - MWFRS
Chapter 27 - Part 2
 Simple diaphragm buildings

 Enclosed building (GCpi = + or – 0.18)
 h ≤ 160 feet
 Flat, monoslope, mansard roofs, gable
roofs
 Based on ASCE 7-10 Figure 27.4-1 – Part 1
Traditional “Directional Approach”

Simple Diaphragm Building
 Building -
with vertically spanning wall systems
in which both windward and leeward
wind loads are transmitted through floor
and roof diaphragms (rigid or flexible)
to the same MWFRS

 Simple diaphragm building
L
 h ≤ 60 ft
 0.2 ≤ L/B ≤ 5.0
 Kzt = 1.0 or calculated h

Assumptions – Class 1 Bldgs
 Rigid or flexible diaphragm enclosed buildings

 h ≤ 60 ft.
 0.2 ≤ L/B ≤ 5.0 (interpolate between)
 No topographic effects (Kzt = 1) or calculate
 Symmetric placement MWFRS
 MWFRS placed so that torsion does not control
(guidance provided)

Simplified 160 ft Method
Two Classes of Buildings
Class 2: B
L
 Simple diaphragm building
 60 ≤ h ≤ 160 ft
 0.5 ≤ L/B ≤ 2.0
 Kzt = 1.0 or calculated h

Assumptions – Class 2 Bldgs
 Rigid or flexible diaphragm enclosed buildings

 h = 60 – 160 ft.
 Period T = h/75 seconds (upper bound)
 Damping = 1.5% (lower bound)
 L/B = 0.5. 1.0, 2.0 (interpolate between)
 No topographic effects (Kzt = 1) or calculate
 Symmetric placement MWFRS elements
 MWFRS placed so that torsion does not control
(guidance provided)

Why is Building Period Important?
 Related to mass and stiffness of building

 Stiffness affects drift and motion perception
 Mass affects wind forces
 Mass affects seismic forces
 Mass affects motion perception
 Period affects Gust Effect Factor, thus pressure p
 Buildings with high periods interact more with the
wind
 Note:
 Higher Period T is conservative (opposite from
seismic!)
