Wind Loads on Main Wind Force Resisting System and Components & Cladding
Wind Loads on Main Wind Force Resisting System
In MkaPEB, wind loads for the Main Wind Force Resisting System (MWFRS) of low-rise buildings are determined using the Envelope Procedure in ASCE 7-22, Chapter 28 (Wind Loads on Buildings: MWFRS (Envelope Procedure)). The calculation accounts for key parameters including the building risk category, basic wind speed, wind directionality factor, exposure category, topographic factor, ground elevation factor, enclosure classification, and the internal pressure coefficient.

Wind Loads on Components & Cladding
In MkaPEB, wind pressures for Components and Cladding (C&C) are determined in accordance with ASCE 7-22, Chapter 30 (Wind Loads: Components and Cladding). The calculation accounts for key parameters including the building risk category, basic wind speed, wind directionality factor, exposure category, topographic factor, ground elevation factor, enclosure classification, and the internal pressure coefficient.
