Abstract: A worked example illustrates the method for obtaining design wind pressures for a typical, one-story house with a gable or hip roof using the wind load provisions of Standard ASCE/SEI 7-10, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures. The analytical procedure is used to determine design wind pressures for the main wind force-resisting system (MWFRS) of the building. Calculation of velocity pressures, gust effect factor, and internal pressures is demonstrated. Design pressure for the MWFRS, design wind load cases, and design pressures for components and cladding are explained.
