qz x G x Cf x Af

p: design pressure
qz: at height z above ground
G = 0.85 ( Guest Factor for Exposure C)
Cf = 0.7 (Force Coefficient)
Af: projected area normal to wind
qz = 0.00256 x Kz x Kzt x Kd x V*2 x I
Kz: 1.0
(Velocity Pressure Exposure Coefficient for Exposure C given in Table 6-2))
Kzt = 1.0 (Topographical Factor)
Kd = 1.0 (Directional Factor)
V = 100 mph
(Wind Speed)
