Determination of Wind Exposure Category and Basic Wind Speed for B332 and Other Facilities Located within Superblock
- Lawrence Livermore National Lab. (LLNL), Livermore, CA (United States)
This document assesses of the typical surface terrain for the LLNL Site 200 Campus surrounding B332 in accordance with ASCE 7-16 and demonstrates that wind Exposure Category B can be applied to B332 and the other buildings and structures located within the fenced perimeter of Superblock. When compensating for the Exposure Category B surface terrain surrounding B332 and Superblock, calculations show that the ANS 2.3 WDC-3 Basic Wind Speed for B332 is adjusted from 118 mph to 100 mph and the WDC-2 Basic Wind Speed is adjusted from 115 mph to 98 mph.
