LSU Building Envelope Lecture 4 - Design 10-03

The document discusses design considerations for the building envelope. It outlines that architects are responsible for building function and aesthetics, while engineers focus on structural design. Building type also determines responsibilities, with architects leading high-rise and commercial design, and engineers or builders focusing on industrial and residential. The criteria for design includes meeting building code minimums and using a risk analysis approach. It then examines three methods from the ASCE 7-02 code for computing wind loads - the simplified, analytical, and wind tunnel methods. It concludes by discussing using a risk model to determine an appropriate level of risk based on building function and cost considerations.

THE BUILDING ENVELOPE: Lecture 4

Designing the Building Envelope


Design Responsibility: Fee Structure

• Architect: building function and aesthetics

• Engineer: principal structural frame


Design Responsibility: Building Type

• High-rise and commercial - Architect


• Industrial (metal) buildings- Engineer
• Residential buildings - Builder/A/E
Criteria for Design

•Meeting Building Code Minimums

•Risk Analysis Approach


Criteria for Design: Code Minimums

ASCE 7-02 outlines three methods for


computing wind pressures

• Method 1: Simplified Method


• Method 2: Analytical Method
• Method 3: Wind Tunnel Analysis
ASCE 7-02 Method 1: Simplified Method

Nine criteria must be met:


(1) a simple diaphragm building
(2) a low-rise building
(3) an "enclosed" building
(4) of regular shape
(5) not flexible
(6) have no special wind sensitivities
(7) have no expansion joints
(8) sited with no topographic effects, and
(9) approximately symmetrical with roof slope < 45o
ASCE 7-02 Method 2: Analytical Method

p = q(GCp) – qi(GCpi) (ASCE 7-02, Equation 6-23)


q = 0.00256 Kz Kzt Kd V2 I (ASCE 7-02, Equation 6-15)

q is the "dynamic pressure" induced by the wind


G addresses wind gusts and gust-structure interactions
C (Cp and Cpi) is a factor reflecting building geometry
Kz addresses terrain; varies with height above ground
Kzt addresses topographic effects (hills, escarpments)
Kd addresses directionality of the wind
V is the design wind speed
I is the importance factor for the building
ASCE 7-02 Method 3: Wind Tunnel Method

[ Note: Leighton Cochran will provide an


illustration of wind loads on cladding
determined from wind tunnel tests]
Criteria for Design: Risk Analysis Approach

• The Risk Model

• Precedent and Cost

• Appropriate Level of Risk


The Risk Model: Hurricane Occurrence
The Risk Model: V vs MRI
250

200
Wind Speed (mph)

150

100 Mean Hourly


One Minute
Fastest Mile
50 Peak Gust

0
10 100 1000 10000
Return Period (Years)
The Risk Model: Precedent and Cost

Risks associated with building function


–Mass hurricane shelters - 500 yr MRI
–Health care facilities - 300 yr MRI
–Facilities with nuclear materials - 1M yr MRI
Cost considerations
–Costs are developed for several risk levels
–Trade-off between cost and MRI
