Wind-Asce 7-10

The document provides an example of calculating wind loads on a structure according to ASCE 7-05 and ASCE 7-10 standards using the directional method. It gives input data for a sample structure and shows the calculations to determine velocity pressures, wind pressures at different levels, and average and net pressures on the main wind force resisting system and parapets.
