Input Data:
If z <= 15 then: Kz = 2.01*(15/zg)^(2/D) , If z > 15 then: Kz = 2.01*(z/zg)^(2/D) (Table 6-3, Case 2a)
D= 9.50 zg = 900 (Table 6-2)
Kh = 1.15 (Kh = Kz evaluated at z = h)
I= 1.15 (Table 6-1) (Importance factor)
Velocity Pressure: qz = 0.00256*Kz*Kzt*Kd*V^2*I (Sect. 6.5.10, Eq. 6-15)
qh = 30.50 psf qh = 0.00256*Kh*Kzt*Kd*V^2*I (qz evaluated at z = h)
Ratio h/L = 0.820 freq., f = 2.254 hz. (f >= 1, Rigid structure)
Gust Factor, G = 0.837 (Sect. 6.5.8)
Design Net External Wind Pressures (Sect. 6.5.12.2):
p = qz*G*Cp - qi*(+/-GCpi) for windward wall (psf), where: qi =qh (Eq. 6-17, Sect. 6.5.12.2.1)
p = qh*G*Cp - qi*(+/-GCpi) for leeward wall, sidewalls, and roof (psf), where: qi = qh (Sect. 6.5.12.2.1)
