: New, elaborate provisions have been introduced for elevated structures. Since many portable units sit on chassis or temporary piers, these "elevated" criteria now dictate more precise Main Wind Force Resisting System (MWFRS) and Components and Cladding (C&C) calculations. Directionality Factor ( Kdcap K sub d ) : The wind directionality factor Kdcap K sub d has been moved from the velocity pressure equation (
: Ground snow loads are now based on "reliability-targeted" values rather than a simple 50-year mean recurrence interval. Thermal Factor ( Ctcap C sub t asce 7 22 portable
For portable buildings deployed in northern climates, ASCE 7-22 changes the fundamental nature of snow design. : New, elaborate provisions have been introduced for
) directly into the individual pressure and force equations. This ensures that structures with multiple shapes (common in modular clusters) are evaluated with the correct Kdcap K sub d for each component. Thermal Factor ( Ctcap C sub t For
