Publisher's Synopsis
The objective of the ""Guide to the Use of the Wind Load Provisions of ASCE 7-95"" is to provide guidance in the use of the wind load provisions set forth in ASCE Standard 7-95. ""The Guide"" is a completely new document because the wind load provisions underwent major changes from the previous ASCE Standard 7-88 (or ASCE 7-93). ""The Guide"" contains six example problems, worked out in detail, which can provide direction to practicing professionals in assessing wind loads on a variety of buildings and other structures. Errata and Clarifications from the previous guide is also included.
