Building location: Panama City, FL
Building outline: 68 ft by 120 ft by 16 ft tall with a flat roof
Exposure C
Building use: Retail Store
Wind load resisting system (roof support is provided by major beams spanning N-S and joists
spanning E-W, decking spans between the joists):
Velocity Based Pressures (6.5.10):
qz = 0.00256 Kz Kzt Kd V2 I
Eq. 6-15
Per 6.5.12.2.2, for low-rise qh is used (qz evaluated at the mean roof height of the building):
where:

Diaphragm and Shear Walls - For design of the diaphragm and shear walls the loads on the
windward and leeward walls may be added and assumed to act on the windward wall only.
The internal pressure terms (GCpi) will cancel out and the roof uplift loads have no effect on
the design of the MWFRS.

From Fig. 6-5, for an enclosed building the internal pressure coefficient GCpi is:
GCpi = +0.18 for an internal positive pressure
GCpi = -0.18 for an internal suction (negative pressure).
Eq. 6-18
Design wind loads for bearing walls at east and west ends:
The east and west walls directly support the roof joists so they will be subjected to flexure

from wind on the wall and axial force from loads on the roof. Since this is a fairly localized
effect and not really related to overall stability of the entire structure, C & C loads will be
used. Note: This could possibly be considered MWFRS since the wind is on more than one
surface but since this is a localized effect of wind the higher C & C loads will be used.
