Analytical Method 2 (for buildings < 60 feet high). This lecture applies the ASCE 7-02 code requirements for wind (Section 6.0) to a simple structure and analyzes it with, The ASCE 7-02 Method 2 , the Analytical Method for buildings smaller than 60 feet in height. The structure chosen is a warehouse-office building in downtown Tampa . Its dimensions are 100 feet long by 50 feet wide by 20 feet tall. A drawing is shown on slide #3 depicting the location of all the windows and doors. The location of these windows and doors are either in the field (or internal) zones or in the end (or external) zones. The analysis consists of finding all pressures affecting every part of this structure that come from all four directions. Finally, when all the pressures have been calculated, the engineer will choose the largest positive pressure and the largest negative pressure for the design of the building.
