Reference wind pressures of the 2004 Code have been retained, but adjustments have been made to avoid unnecessary systematic increases to the existing design loads due to use of updated pressure coefficients and to bring the resulting loads more in line with wind tunnel testing.
Wood-Frame Shear Wall and Diaphragm Design
www.woodworks.org• Capacities listed in AWC’s Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic (SDPWS) • Sheathed shear walls most common. Can also use horizontal and diagonal board sheathing, gypsum panels, fiberboard, lath and plaster, and others • Blocked shear walls most common. SDPWS has reduction factors for unblocked shear walls
Example 1 The drag coefficient of a car at the design ...
user.engineering.uiowa.eduThe drag coefficient of a car at the design conditions of 1 atm, 25°C, and 90 km/h is to be determined experimentally in a large wind tunnel in a full-scale test. The height and width of the car are 1.40 m and 1.65 m, respectively. If the horizontal force acting on the car is measured to be 300 N, determine the total drag coefficient of this car.
