Wind Load Generation in Log File – Miscellaneous Changes

Important Note – These are descriptions to changes implemented in WoodWorks Shearwalls for version 10.0 and may not reflect current behavior

1. Topographic Effects in Log File

   The information about topographic effects entered in the site dialog is now echoed in the log file output.

2. Components and Cladding Method in Header

   The design method for component and cladding loads ASCE 7-10 Ch. 29 Part 1 (h <= 60 ft.) has been added to the header of the log file wind load generation info section

   Kd and GCpi Factors

   Kd and GCpi were moved from the Site Information to be below the list of equations they pertain to, and have lost their ragged formatting.

3. Gust Effect Factor for Dynamic Analysis

   Previously, the value of 0.85 which is the default for static analysis was reported in the log file output even when a different value input for dynamic analysis was used. This has been corrected.
