How to fill out asce 7-98 wind map

1. To fill out the ASCE 7-98 wind map, follow these steps:
2. Start by determining the wind speed map for the location you are interested in. You can find this information in Chapter 6 of the ASCE 7-98 standard.
3. Once you have the wind speed map, identify the applicable risk category for the structure you are designing. The risk category is determined based on the importance of the structure and the consequences of failure.
4. Use the wind speed map and the risk category to determine the basic wind speed for the site. The basic wind speed is the fastest mile wind speed with an average recurrence interval of 50 years.
5. Next, you need to determine the exposure category for the site. The exposure category defines the level of exposure to the wind based on the terrain and surrounding obstacles. There are three exposure categories: B, C, and D.
6. Once you have determined the exposure category, refer to Table 6-1 in the ASCE 7-98 standard to find the applicable wind load factors for each exposure category.
7. Multiply the basic wind speed by the wind load factor for the exposure category to get the basic wind pressure.
8. You may need to adjust the basic wind pressure based on any special wind conditions that are applicable to the site, such as topographic effects or enclosure classification.
9. Finally, use the basic wind pressure to calculate the design wind pressures for the different components of the structure. The design wind pressures are used to determine the wind loads that the structure must be designed to resist.

Who needs asce 7-98 wind map?

1. ASCE 7-98 wind map is needed by structural engineers, architects, and designers who are involved in the design and construction of buildings and structures. It provides important information on the wind loads that a structure may experience and is used to ensure that the structure is designed to withstand these loads. Building code officials and regulatory agencies also rely on the ASCE 7-98 wind map to enforce wind load requirements and ensure the safety of buildings and structures.
