Based on the following criteria the following calculations have been done:

In the following examples a factored windload of 1.65kN/m 2 is suggested

Peak velocity pressure

= 1.0 kN/m 2

Applied wind load on gable panel

= 1.5 x 1.1 x 1.0

= 1.65 kN/m 2

1000/375 = 2.6666 2.6666x(1000/600) = 4.4 ties/m 2

1000/450 = 2.2222 2.2222x(1000/600) = 3.7ties/m 2

Lowest failure (with Ym & kmod applied)

0.757 x 7.4 = 5.6kN/m 2

0.757 x 5.5 = 4.16kN/m 2

0.757 x 4.4 = 3.33kN/m 2
