Answer:
The external pressure is p = -21.9 psf or p = -8.85 psf
Explanation:
Given :
Velocity of wind, v = 120 mi / hr
(wind direction factor)
= topographical factor (for flat terrain)
= velocity pressure at height h
But for height h = 30 ft, = 0.98 (from table)
= 36.16
Now, , so
(from table)
where, p = external pressure
G = 0.85 = gust factor (for typical rigid building)
(internal pressure co efficient)
Therefore putting the values,
p = -21.9 psf or p = -8.85 psf
