The roof slab is spanning between roof beams. For the design of the roof, a section of 1-meter strip width by the max. length of L1.roof := 12.85 m long will be used. Drag Coefficient for rectangualr bldg.: Equivalent Load Coefficient: Cd.roof := 0.4 Lw L1.roof = 2.1

REAR WALL LOAD

The rear wall is proportioned the same as the front and side walls, spanning vertically. Because the highest loads are on the front wall, a rear wall analysis would only be necessary to determine a net loading on the overall building analysis. The analysis will be for a wall segment of 1-m strip width. Drag Coefficient: Equivalent Load Coefficient: Cd.rear := 0.4 Lw S = 4.4
