42、CTORSA1.1 Windload Criteria:A1.1.1 ASCE 7-02 is the basis for determining the design pressures used in this test method. The velocity pressures, q, used inthis test method have been computed using the following equation:q 50.00256 KzKdV2I lb/ft2!50.613 KzKdV2I N/m2! (A1.1)where:V = wind velocity, mp

43、h (km/h). The basic wind speed corresponds to a 3-s gust speed at 33 ft (10.1 m) above ground inexposure category C, as described in ASCE 7-02. A velocity of 110 mph (177 km/h) was used in this specification. (SeeNote A1.1.)D7254 153I = “importance factor” as described in ASCE 7-02. A value of 1.0 w

44、as used.Kz = “velocity pressure coefficient” as described in ASCE 7-02. A “Kz” of 0.70 was used in the wind pressure calculations,which is the value from ASCE 7-02 for an elevation of 30 ft (9.1 m) above ground level and Exposure Category B.Kd = “wind directionality factor” as described in ASCE 702.

45、 A “Kd” of 0.85 is used.A1.1.1.1 The velocity pressure = 18.43 lbf/ft2 (882 Pa).NOTE A1.1InASCE 7-02 the default wind speeds are given for exposure category C, and a table is provided to adjust this wind speed for other exposurecategories. Since most siding is installed on buildings located in expos

46、ure category B, the velocity pressure coefficient, Kz is included in the equation tomake this adjustment.A1.1.2 ASCE 7-02 recommends various internal and external pressure coefficients, which include gust response factors. Thesecoefficients vary with the effective area of the cladding component, the

47、 location of the cladding component relative to buildingcorners, and the configuration of the building (open versus enclosed). The internal and external pressure coefficients are taken fromFigure 65 and Figure 611A of ASCE 7-02. The effective area is taken as 10 ft2 (the area of one piece of siding)

48、, an enclosedbuilding is assumed, and factors for the building corners are used.A1.1.2.1 The pressure coefficients are as follows:Internal Pressure Coefficient = 0.18External Pressure Coefficient = +1.00 and 1.40A1.1.2.2 The design pressure is calculated by multiplying the velocity pressures by the

49、algebraic sum of the internal and externalpressure coefficients.A1.2 Design Pressure:Positive Design Pressure = (18.43)(1.00 + 0.18) = 21.74 psfNegative Design Pressure = (18.43)(1.40 0.18) = 29.12 psfA1.2.1 The negative values (suction loads) are the largest in magnitude and are the design values used in this test method.
