Hi,

I am using ASCE 7 module of CAESAR for the first time (instead of API 2A).

I am doing this analysis for an offshore facility, where 10 m above mean sea level(where wind velocity is refered) is not same as elevation 10 m. 10 m above mean sea level is 35.8 m elevation in my case.

I see that there is an option in CAESARII to input 3sec gust wind speed @10 m elevation above ground.
But there is no option in CAESARII to key in reference elevation at which this 10 m occurs.

1. Is it not a requirement of ASCE7 to consider Velocity v/s elevation profile?

2.If no, please let me know how CII knows what velocity has to be calculated at which elevation.

Thanks in advance.
