ASCE7-2016 PRESSURE TABLES.xlsx

ASCE 7-20 (American Society of Civil Engineers 7-20) is a standard that provides guidance on the minimum design loads for buildings and other structures. The standard includes tables for determining wind loads on building components and cladding. The components and cladding tables in ASCE 7-20 provide guidance on the wind loads acting on various building components and cladding materials. These tables are used to determine the design wind pressures that are used to design the building envelope, such as walls, roofs, and windows. The components and cladding tables in ASCE 7-20 are organized based on the shape and orientation of the building components and cladding. The tables include values for different wind speeds and exposure categories, and are specific to various types of construction, such as wood-frame, masonry, and metal buildings. The tables provide guidance on wind loads for a range of building components and cladding, including: Walls: The tables provide guidance on wind loads for various wall types, such as concrete, masonry, and wood-frame walls. The tables also include values for wind loads on openings, such as windows and doors. Roofs: The tables provide guidance on wind loads for various roof types, such as flat roofs, sloped roofs, and metal roofs. The tables also include values for wind loads on roof components, such as roof vents and skylights. Structural members: The tables provide guidance on wind loads for various structural members, such as beams, columns, and trusses. Other building components: The tables also provide guidance on wind loads for other building components, such as canopies, awnings, and signs. The ASCE 7-20 components and cladding tables are an important resource for engineers and architects designing buildings and other structures. They provide a standardized approach for calculating wind loads on building components and cladding, helping to ensure that buildings are designed to withstand the expected wind loads in their specific location and exposure category.
