Mathcad - ASCE 07-16 Wind Load Pressure On Solid Freestanding Wall PDF

This document summarizes the wind load analysis for the main wind-force resisting system of an enclosed or partially enclosed building per ASCE 7-16 code. It provides the design wind speed, calculates the velocity pressure, and determines the wind pressure on solid freestanding walls and signs using the velocity pressure, height, and dimension of the wall. The wind pressure is calculated for two cases and also expressed as serviceability limit state values.
