RR 22.05.00-3.3 Wind Loads per ASCE 7-16
The program can now automatically generate wind load intensity values per
the 2016 edition of ASCE 7 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures.
The 2016 edition ASCE 7 now accounts for the height above sea level of the structure through a new coefficient, Ke as well as changes to the values used for other coefficients. These include the horizontal cross-section types used in the calculation of Kd as well as a new enclosure classification, partially open, for GCpi.
