1609.1.3 Minimum Wind Loads

NYC Building Code 2014 > 16 Structural Design > 1609 Wind Loads > 1609.1 Applications > 1609.1.3 Minimum Wind Loads
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
The wind loads used in the design of the main wind-force-resisting system shall not be less than 10 psf (0.479 kN/m2) multiplied by the area of the building or structure projected on a vertical plane normal to the wind direction. In the calculation of design wind loads for components and cladding for buildings, the algebraic sum of the pressures acting on opposite faces shall be taken into account. The design pressure for components and cladding of buildings shall not be less than 20 psf (0.958 kN/m2) acting in either direction normal to the surface. The design force for open buildings and other structures shall not be less than 10 psf (0.479 kN/m2) multiplied by the area Af.
