This is the 3-second gust speed at 33 feet above ground in open terrain. It is found on the wind speed maps (Figures 6-1 through 6-4 in ASCE 7-05). wind load calculation as per asce 7-05
p=17.54+4.64=22.18 psfp equals 17.54 plus 4.64 equals 22.18 psf
from the ASCE 7-05 wind maps. This speed represents a 3-second gust at 33 feet (10 meters) above ground in Exposure C. Importance Factor (
