Substituting the above values into Equation 2.8 to determine
the design wind pressure at 100 ft above grade gives
92=9.KKKK
= 25.60(0.99)(1)(0.85)(0.91) = 19.6 lb/ft²
Note: To compute wind pressures at other elevations on the
windward side, the only factor that changes in the above
equation is K₂, tabulated in Table 2.4. For example, at an
elevation of 50 ft, K₂ = 0.81 and q₂ = 16.04 lb/ft².

Determine the design wind pressure on the windward face
AB, using Equation 2.9.
Gust factor G= 0.85, read Cp = 0.8 (from Table 2.7). Substi-
tuting into Equation 2.9 produces
p=qGC,
19.6(0.85)(0.8) = 13.3 lb/ft²
Determine the wind pressure on the leeward side:
C₂= -0.5
(Table 2.7) and G=0.85
p=q₂GC, 19.6(0.85)(-0.5)= -8.33 lb/ft²

Determine the wind pressure distribution on the four sides of an eight-story
hotel located on relatively flat ground approximately 2500 ft above sea level;
the Risk Category II basic wind speed is 100 mph. Consider the case of a
strong wind acting directly on face AB of the building in Figure 2.17a. Assume
the building is classified as stiff because its natural period is less than 1 s;
therefore, the gust factor G equals 0.85. The building is located in an urban
area, so exposure Bapplies. Since the building is located on level ground, K₂=1.

at the top of the building, 100 ft above grade, using Equation 2.7a.
