ASCE 7-05 Minimum Design Loads for buildings and other Structure

ASCE 7-05 uses a single basic wind speed map. For each building risk category, an importance factor and wind-load factor are then applied to determine ultimate wind loads. For this edition, the ASD wind-load factor is 1.0 and the strength design wind-load factor is 1.6. 




To determine wind-uplift resistance loads for a roof system, you would multiple the ultimate wind loads by the ASD wind-load factor (1.0) and the appropriate safety factor.
