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.
