32、d Criteria:A1.1.1 ASCE 7-02 is the basis for determining the designpressures used in this test method. The velocity pressures, q,used in this test method have been computed using thefollowing equation:q 5 0.00256 KzKdV2I lb/ft2! 5 0.613 KzKdV2I N/m2! (A1.1)where:V = wind velocity, mph (km/h). The ba

33、sic wind speedcorresponds to a 3-s gust speed at 33 ft (10.1 m)above ground in exposure category C, as described inASCE 7-02. A velocity of 110 mph (177 km/h) wasused in this specification. (See Note A1.1.)I = “importance factor” as described in ASCE 7-02.Avalue of 1.0 was used.Kz= “velocity pressur

34、e coefficient” as described inASCE 7-02.A“Kz” of 0.70 was used in the windpressure calculations, which is the value fromASCE 7-02 for an elevation of 30 ft (9.1 m) aboveground level and Exposure Category B.Kd= “wind directionality factor” as described in ASCE702. A “Kd” of 0.85 is used.A1.1.1.1 The

35、velocity pressure = 18.43 lbf/ft2(882 Pa).NOTE A1.1In ASCE 7-02 the default wind speeds are given forexposure category C, and a table is provided to adjust this wind speed forother exposure categories. Since most siding is installed on buildingslocated in exposure category B, the velocity pressure c

36、oefficient, Kzisincluded in the equation to make this adjustment.A1.1.2 ASCE 7-02 recommends various internal and exter-nal pressure coefficients, which include gust response factors.These coefficients vary with the effective area of the claddingcomponent, the location of the cladding component rela

37、tive tobuilding corners, and the configuration of the building (openversus enclosed). The internal and external pressure coeffi-cients are taken from Figure 65 and Figure 611A ofASCE 7-02. The effective area is taken as 10 ft2(the area ofone piece of siding), an enclosed building is assumed, andfact

38、ors for the building corners are used.A1.1.2.1 The pressure coefficients are as follows:Internal Pressure Coefficient = 6 0.18External Pressure Coefficient = +1.00 and 1.40A1.1.2.2 The design pressure is calculated by multiplyingthe velocity pressures by the algebraic sum of the internal andexternal

39、 pressure coefficients.A1.2 Design Pressure:Positive Design Pressure = (18.43)(1.00 + 0.18) = 21.74 psfNegative Design Pressure = (18.43)(1.40 0.18) = 29.12 psfA1.2.1 The negative values (suction loads) are the largest inmagnitude and are the design values used in this test method.Based on research

40、conducted by Architectural Testing, Inc. forthe Vinyl Siding Institute,4a certain amount of pressureequalization occurs through residential siding products in-stalled with sheathing under high dynamic pressures. In light ofthis pressure equalization, the design pressure in theASCE 7-02 windload stan

41、dards is reduced by a factor of 0.36.A1.2.2 Therefore, the required test pressures are calculatedas follows:Pt5 DP3 0.36 3 1.5 (A1.2)where:Pt= test pressure, lbf/ft2(Pa),PP= design pressure, lbf/ft2(Pa),0.36 = pressure equalization factor, and1.5 = safety factor.A1.2.3 In a 110 mph (177 km/h) wind z

42、one area specifyinga design pressure of 29.12 lbf/ft2(1394 Pa) for a building 30ft (9.1 m) in height or less, the required siding uniform load testpressure is 15.73 lbf/ft2(753 Pa). For applications where theeffective design pressure is greater than 29.12 lbf/ft2(1394Pa) (for example, wind zone area

43、s greater than 110 mph (177km/h), elevations over 30 ft (9.1 m), or exposure conditionsother than Exposure B), refer to ASCE 7-02 for the effectivedesign pressure. The product shall be subjected to a static testpressure determined by the formula in A1.2.2. These loadingconditions apply only to sidin

44、g installed to solid walls, withinternal or external sheathing. For applications where thesiding is installed over open studding, rapid pressure equaliza-tion does not occur. In these applications, the load the sidingwill see is equal to the total design pressure. The static testpressure required fo

45、r products used under these conditions is asfollows:Pt5 1.5 3 DP (A1.3)where:Pt= static test pressure, lbf/ft2(Pa),DP = design pressure, lbf/ft2(Pa), and1.5 = safety factor.A1.3 Wind Design Pressures:A1.3.1 The wind velocity maps in ASCE 7-02 provide onesource of design wind pressures for particular
