The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page. In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters "OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number printed on the bottom of the page. In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in compiling an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

The building must be designed for all wind directions. Transverse and longitudinal directions denote directions perpendicular and parallel to ridge, respectively. For buildings having flat roofs, a ridge line normal to the wind direction shall be assumed at the mid-length dimension of the roof for the direction considered. Each corner must be considered in turn as the windward corner shown in the figures. For all roof slopes, Load Case A and Load Cases B2, B3 are required as separate conditions to generate the wind actions, including torsion, to be resisted by the structural systems. If the roof slope is 30° or more, a third loading condition Bl is also required. 2. Load Case A with internal pressure; wind generally perpendicular to ridge. 3. Load Case A with internal suction; wind generally perpendicular to ridge. 4. Load Case B1 with internal pressure; wind generally parallel to ridge. 5. For roof angles, 45° < a < 90°, the coefficient GCP may be obtained by linear interpolation. 6. Uplift equal on both roof surfaces. 7. Unbalanced loading on roof surfaces. 8. Load Case B2 with internal pressure; wind generally parallel to ridge. 9. Load Case B3 with internal pressure; wind generally parallel to ridge. 10. Load Case B3 with internal suction; wind generally parallel to ridge. 11. Coefficient to be applied to the windward side of the effective solid area of every vertical surface exposed to the wind. 12. Notations: a: Roof angle from horizontal, in degrees. B: Width of building, in feet. H: Reference height for assessing design pressures given by mean height of roof or 15 feet, whichever is greater. Eave height maybe substituted for mean height when angle of the roof "a" is less than or equal to 10°. N: Number of transverse frames. S: Bay spacing, in feet. X: Zone width defined as 2Z, where Z is edge strip distance defined below. All areas not within end zone are considered interior zones. Z: Edge strip defined as the lesser of 10% of least horizontal dimension of building or 40% of height H but not less than 4% of least horizontal dimension of building and at least 3 ft. ,Pj: Ratio of solid area of frame to gross area outlined by frame on vertical plane.
