WIND MAP SBC 301 Loading Code 2018

This chapter discusses wind load requirements and provides wind speed maps. The maps show design wind speeds in meters per second at 10 meters above ground for different risk categories. Notes provide details on interpolating between contours, handling coastal and mountainous areas, and the exceedance probabilities corresponding to the wind speeds.

CHAPTER 26: —Wind Loads: General Requirements

Notes:
1.Values are design 3-second gust
wind speeds in (m/s) at 10 m above
ground for Exposure C category.
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).
