Wind Load Calculation - ASCE7-05 Method-1, Simplified Procedure - MWFRS

This document contains a wind load calculation for a building using the ASCE 7-05 simplified procedure. It provides details on the building geometry, material properties, calculation steps and results. The key steps are: [1] Determining basic wind speed, importance factor and exposure based on ASCE 7-05 tables; [2] Calculating topographic and height/exposure adjustment factors; [3] Obtaining design wind pressures from ASCE 7-05 figures adjusted for conditions. The output is design wind pressure values for different zones of the building structure.
