DISCLAIMER

THE RESULTS PROVIDED IN THE ANDERSEN WINDE SERVICES ARE INTENDED TO BE USED AS AN AID TO ONLY A QUALIFIED DESIGN PROFESSIONAL FOR THE DESIGN OF BUILDING COMPONENTS AND CLADDING TO RESIST WIND LOADS. WHILE THESE COMPONENTS ARE IMPORTANT IN THE OVERALL WIND RESISTANCE OF A STRUCTURE, DESIGN OF A CONTINUOUS LOAD PATH AND OTHER LOAD-RESISTING COMPONENTS AND LOAD DIRECTIONS MUST BE PERFORMED FOR A COMPLETE DESIGN. FOR A COMPLETE DESIGN TO RESIST WIND LOADS, A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER SHOULD BE CONSULTED. YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH A QUALIFIED STRUCTURAL ENGINEER, ARCHITECT, CODE OFFICIAL, AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS FOR VERIFICATION OF DESIGN PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS AND TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE REGARDING THE CODES AND STANDARDS GOVERNING CONSTRUCTION IN YOUR LOCAL AREA. THE DESIGN PRESSURE NUMBERS PROVIDED IN THE ANDERSEN WINDE SERVICE ARE ESTIMATES ONLY AND ARE PROVIDED PURELY FOR ILLUSTRITIVE PURPOSES. YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON THE ANDERSEN WINDE SERVICE FOR MAKING ANY BUILDING OR DESIGN DECISIONS. REQUIRED DESIGN WIND PRESSURES FOR WINDOWS AND /OR DOORS FOR A PARTICULAR PROJECT SHOULD BE VERIFIED BY A LOCAL CODE OFFICIAL BEFORE SPECIFYING THE WINDOW AND /OR DOOR.

LIMITATIONS

Loads and pressures provided by this program are ASD loads and pressures. The strength design pressures calculated from ASCE 7-10, ASCE 7-16, or ASCE 7-22 have been multiplied by 0.6 in accordance with Section 2.4 in ASCE 7-10, ASCE 7-16, or ASCE 7-22 to convert to allowable stress design loads or pressures.

Gust Effect Factor, G = 0.85 (Rigid building).

Internal pressure coefficient, GCpi = +/- 0.18

Window design wind pressures are based on an enclosed structure using the Low-rise Buildings provisions of Section 30.4 in ASCE 7-10, Section 30.3 in ASCE 7-16, or Section 30.3 in ASCE 7-22.

See definition of "Building, Enclosed" in ASCE 7-10, ASCE 7-16, or ASCE 7-22.

In Wind-borne Debris Regions (as defined in Section 26.2 of ASCE 7-10, ASCE 7-16, or ASCE 7-22), the calculations assume all glazed openings are impact-resistant glazing or are protected with an impact-protective system. See Section 26.10 in ASCE 7-10, Section 26.12 in ASCE 7-16, or Section 26.12 in ASCE 7-22.
