E-BOOK WIND EXAMPLES
The ASCE 7 standard is not a simple standard to follow and apply to “Real World” situations. Therefore, we have written an E-Book to illustrate some common problems that are encountered in structural design.
The E-Book is purchased online at our store for $50. If it’s purchased in combination with MecaWind the user will receive a discount. To take advantage of this discount, add MecaWind to your shopping cart and then you will see the discounted E-Book offered at the bottom of the page.
The E-book offers the following guidance to users:
- Compares each structure using ASCE 7-22 and ASCE 7-16, and shows the results using both methods.
- (Previous version available for purchase compares ASCE 7-16 and ASCE 7-10)
- (Previous version available for purchase compares ASCE 7-10 and ASCE 7-05)
- Several different methods are used for each structure (Simplified, Envelope, Simple Diaphragm, etc..)
- Examples are worked manually, and then using MecaWind, and both results are presented. This gives the user a detailed comparison of the software results and manual calculations.
- The EBook offers the following examples:
a. Building 35 ft wide x 70 ft long with flat roof
b. Building 150 ft x 300 ft x 157 ft High with 3′ Solid Parapet
c. “L” shaped house
d. Open building 20′ x 40′ with Pitched Roof - A copy of all MecaWind input files is provided, so that the user can open the file and look at it interactively.
