The dimensions of a 9-m-high warehouse are shown in Figure P2.12. The windward and leeward wind pressure profiles in the long direction of the warehouse are also shown. Establish the wind forces based on the following information: basic wind speed = 40 m/s, wind exposure category = C, K d = 0.85, K zt = 1.0, G = 0.85, and C p = 0.8 for windward wall and ?0.2 for leeward wall. Use the K z values listed in Table 2.4. What is the total wind force acting in the long direction of the warehouse?
