(b) Determine the wind pressure distribution on the four sides of the four-story building below assuming wind is acting in the north-south direction. The building is located near the Georgia coast where the wind velocity contour map in the ASCE Standard specifies a design wind speed of 140 mph and exposure D applies. The building, located on level flat ground, is classified as stiff because its natural period is less than 1 s, therefore, the gust facto G=0.85. The importance factor is 1.0. The building is located on the level ground then Kz=1. Assume Ka=0.85. On the windward side, evaluate the magnitude of the wind pressure every 12 ft in the vertical direction.
