Wind Load Calculations for Warehouse

This document summarizes the wind load calculations for a warehouse building (WH4) according to ASCE7-10 standards. Key details include: - The building has a gable roof with dimensions of 326m x 113m and a roof pitch of 5 degrees. - The basic wind speed is 51.0 m/s and the building is in Exposure Category C. - Wind loads were calculated for both the roof and walls using the directional method for 0 and 90 degree wind directions. - Net wind forces were calculated based on velocity pressures, pressure coefficients and surface areas. - The minimum required overall horizontal wind load on the building is 4804.4 kN.
