<strong>Design</strong> ExampleBasic wind speed, from Figure 6-1b <strong>for</strong> Orl<strong>and</strong>o,Florida area – V = 110 mph.<strong>Design</strong> approach is based on the Simplified Procedure(Method 1) <strong>for</strong> both Components <strong>and</strong> Cladding <strong>and</strong> Main<strong>Wind</strong> Force System since the following conditions exist:• Simple diaphragm building (Section C6.2).• Building shape is basis <strong>and</strong> has a symmetricalcross section in both directions <strong>and</strong> a flat roof.• There is no expansion joints in the building.• It’s a low-rise building with a mean roof height, hless than 60 ft. <strong>and</strong> does not exceed the leasthorizontal dimension (Section 6.2).<strong>SEAoT</strong> State Conference November 6-8, 2008 Houston TX <strong>SEAoT</strong> - 79
