Description:
WIND SIMPLE is an intuitive computer program that automates the new simplified version of the directional (all-heights) procedure in ASCE 7-10. WIND SIMPLE takes the design pressures from the various tables and sections within ASCE 7-10, automates the multiple interpolations that are involved, calculates the required adjustment factors, and provides all the results in a series of clear and simple tables. WIND SIMPLE provides design pressures for enclosed buildings having a mean roof height less than or equal to 160 ft that meet the limitations in Part 2 of Chapter 27 in ASCE 7-10 for main wind-force resisting systems (MWFRS) or Part 4 of Chapter 30 for components and cladding (C&C). Provide the basic wind speed, exposure category, mean roof height, building plan dimensions, and roof type and slope and WIND SIMPLE will provide MWFRS and C&C design pressures for all wall and roof zones.
