Wind and Seismic Loading: Wind Load:: 8" CMU Wall W/ 6" Stone Veneer - 2 Side

This document provides wind and seismic load calculations for an 8-inch concrete masonry unit (CMU) wall with a 6-inch stone veneer. The wind load is calculated to be 13.78 pounds per square foot (psf) based on a basic wind speed of 70 miles per hour and exposure category C. The seismic load is calculated to be 36.61 psf based on equations from the California Building Code that consider factors like the wall's importance factor, response modification coefficient, and seismic weight. The calculated seismic load exceeds the minimum required by code.
