Dear All,

As per project specification " The basic 10 minute mean wind velocity (Vb) used for design shall be 35 m/s."

We used ASCE#7 in that entered basic wind speed is 35000 mm/sec

Comment:: As already clarified, 35 m/s is the basic 10 minute mean wind velocity (Vb) used for design. However, to apply wind speed as per ASCE 7. You need to apply necessary conversion factor to convert this speed to 3 sec. gust speed.

Please tell me how to convert this ?? and get the actual basic wind speed in ASCE#7.
