Re: 2006 IBC WIND ANALYSIS Question

Looking at ASCE 7-05, the section you reference is for Components and
Cladding, which will yield forces much higher than those from a
standard MWFRS, which is described in 6.5.12.2.4. Also, the corner
zones are affected worse, hence the higher factors. Zones A and B are
as described. You need to account for the highest reactions (at the
roof level) due to the various positive and negative pressures
applied. Good luck.
