Wind Loads Calculations According To ASCE: F Q GC A

The document summarizes the steps to calculate wind loads on a building according to ASCE 7-05 standards. It involves calculating the velocity pressure (qz), gust effect factor (G), force coefficient (Cf) and their product, which must be greater than 500 N/m2. The calculations are shown for both the windward and leeward sides of the building. Key inputs such as building dimensions, height and wind speed are also included.
