If you take a fairly typical roof pitch (say 6:12), then the horizontal ps30
pressures will be about:
Zone Horizontal Pressure
A 14.4 psf (End zone of wall - is a distance 2*a wide)
B 2.3 psf (End zone of roof - a distance of 2*a wide)
C 10.4 psf (Interior zone of wall)
D 2.4 psf (Interior zone of roof)
This basically means that you have a lateral MWFRS pressure of about
somewhere between about 10.4 to 14.4 psf acting laterally on the wall
surfaces for a mean height of 30 ft, Exposure B, Kzt=1 and I=1.

Subject: IBC 2007 Wind calcs.
After 40 yrs. of doing UBC calcs. I am attempting to do my first IBC calcs.
and need help, even after attending a seminar, which seemed to cover lots of
things but not this.
For a simple house, using 6.4 Method 1 Simplified Procedure, I cannot get a
reasonable wind pressure of something between 15 psf and 25 psf.
>From 6.4.2.1, I get p s= 1.0 (1.0) 1.0 (2.3) = 2.3 psf which is
>unrealistic. This is using Fig. 6-2, exposure B, h=30 ft., Kzt =1
and I=1
Can someone point out my omissions/errors?
