I would say "yes" for the interpolation between -0.9 and -1.3, but "no" to the use of the Reduction Factors. Since the double asterisk is for only the h/L >= 1.0 value, I interpret that to mean that it only applies if you are at an h/L greater then 1.0. Since you are between h/L of 0.5 and 1.0, I would say it does not apply.

Subject: Wind Calcs_ Interpolation of Cp Value at flat roofI am looking within the table for Cp for the "All Heights" method (figure 6-6). I have a structure with a flat roof and an h/L between .5 and 1.0. For Cp values for horiz. dist. 0 to h/2 I'm pretty sure you can interpolate between -.9 and -1.3. Tell me if I'm incorrect there, but also, can you use the "Reduction Factors" for the interpolated Cp?Thanks,Joe Grill
