Use the MWFRS Envelope Procedure in ASCE 7-10 Chapter 28, Part 1 to answer this question. Assume that the building meets the conditions described therein. You have been tasked with designing a partially-enclosed building. The mean roof height is 15 ft, and the roof angle is 5 degrees. The basic wind speed provided by the local building authority is 115 mph. Assume that exposure category C is applicable and that the building is not located on a hill or an escarpment. Determine the external pressure coefficient GCpf on Zone 2E for Load Case A.
