Classification of BuildingsUse or Occupancy of Buildings and Structures Risk CategoryBuildings and other structures that represent a low risk to human life in the event of
failure:I
All buildings and other structures except those listed in Risk Categories I, III, and IV IIBuildings and other structures, the failure of which could pose a substantial risk to
human life.Buildings and other structures, not included in Occupancy Category IV, with potential
to cause a substantial economic impact and/or mass disruption of day-to-daycivilian life in the event of failure
Buildings and other structures not included in Risk Category IV (including, but notlimited to, facilities that manufacture, process, handle, store, use, or dispose ofsuch substances as hazardous fuels, hazardous chemicals, hazardous waste, orexplosives) containing toxic or explosive substances where the quantity of thematerial exceeds a threshold quantity established by the authority havingjurisdiction and is sufficient to pose a threat to the public if released.
III
Buildings and other structures designated as essential facilities. Buildings and other structures, the failure of which could pose a substantial hazard to
the community.Buildings and other structures (including, but not limited to, facilities that
manufacture, process, handle, store, use, or dispose of such substances as hazardous fuels, hazardous chemicals, or hazardous waste) containing sufficient quantities of highly toxic substances where the quantity exceeds a threshold quantity established by the authority having jurisdiction to be dangerous to the public if released and is sufficient to pose a threat to the public if released.a
Buildings and other structures required to maintain the functionality of other Category IV structures.

NCSEA Webinar –ASCE 7-10 Changes in Wind Load Provisions 7
Classification of Buildings1.5.1 Risk Categorization. Buildings and other structures shall be
classified, based on the risk to human life, health and welfare associated with their damage or failure by nature of their occupancy or use, according to Table 1-1 for the purposes of applying flood, wind, snow, earthquake, and ice provisions. Each building or other structure shall be assigned to the highest applicable risk category or categories. Minimum design loads for structures shall incorporate the applicable Importance Factors given in Table 1-2, as required by other Sections of this Standard. Assignment of a building or other structure to multiple risk categories based on the type of load condition being evaluated (e.g., wind or seismic) shall be permitted.
When the building code or other referenced standard specifies an Occupancy Category, the Risk Category shall not be taken as lower than the Occupancy Category specified therein.
NCSEA Webinar –ASCE 7-10 Changes in Wind Load Provisions 8
Classification of Buildings
Elimination of the specific examples of buildings that fall into each category has the benefit that it eliminates the potential for conflict between the standard and locally adopted codes and also provides individual communities and development teams the flexibility to interpret acceptable risk for individual projects.
Guidance on what types of buildings might fall into each Risk Category is now gone from the body of the standard. Examples are still provided in the Commentary.

MWFRS Directional Procedure
“A procedure for determining wind loads on buildingsand other structures for specific wind directions, inwhich the external pressure coefficients utilized arebased on past wind tunnel testing of prototypicalbuilding models for the corresponding direction ofwind.”
NCSEA Webinar –ASCE 7-10 Changes in Wind Load Provisions 14
MWRFS Envelope Procedure
Buildings 60 ft (old Figure 6-10, new Figure 28.4-1)
NCSEA Webinar –ASCE 7-10 Changes in Wind Load Provisions 15
MWFRS Envelope Procedure
“A procedure for determining wind load cases onbuildings, in which pseudo external pressure coefficientsare derived from past wind tunnel testing of prototypicalbuilding models successively rotated through 360degrees, such that the pseudo pressure cases producekey structural actions (uplift, horizontal shear, bendingmoments, etc.) that envelop their maximum valuesamong all possible wind directions.”

New Wind Speed Maps
New data and data analysis indicate current ASCE 7 hurricane wind speeds are generally conservative
Introduction of ultimate wind speed maps LRFD Wind Load Factor = 1.0 ASD Wind Load Factor = 0.6
Specific maps for each building category
NCSEA Webinar –ASCE 7-10 Changes in Wind Load Provisions 22
Facts About the ASCE 7-05 Wind Speed Map
In most of the non-hurricane US mainland, the mapped values represented a 50-year mean recurrence interval
In hurricane regions, the mapped values varied from 50 to 100 years along the hurricane coastline
Wind speeds along the hurricane coastline had been adjusted upward so that when incorporated with the wind LF, produce a wind load having a consistent hazard level with the interior US (700 MRI)

Summary of Wind Maps
Use individual maps for structures with different life-safety concerns rather than using Importance Factors
A 1.0 load factor for LRFD (same as Seismic) A 0.6 load factor for ASD design The result is consistent with the intent of ASCE
7-98 and better represents life-safety objectives
Exposure D must be used on hurricane coastlines

Why is Building Period Important?
Related to mass and stiffness of building Stiffness affects drift and motion perception Mass affects wind forces Mass affects seismic forces Mass affects motion perception
Period affects Gust Effect Factor, thus pressure p Buildings with high periods interact more with the
wind Note:
Higher Period T is conservative (opposite from seismic!)

ph = qh [(G Cp) – (GCpi)] = qh (GCp)net
GCp values :• Flat roofs – Fig. 30.6-1 for zones 1-3• Gable roofs, mansard roofs – Fig. 30.4-2A, B, C for
zones 1-3 • Hip roofs – Fig. 30.4-2B for zones 1-3• Monoslope roofs – Fig. 30.4-5A, B for zones 1-3• Wall zones 4 and 5 for all cases from Fig. 30.6-1. • Table pressures based on h and qh
GCpi values for enclosed buildings are taken as +(-) 0.18.
