irc component and cladding wind pressure
 

irc component and cladding wind pressure
what are the rules about component and cladding wind pressures when designing a single family residence? i'm designing the mwfrs per ibc pressures, but do i return to the irc for the component and cladding pressures? irc is showing fastest mile wind speeds and its not clear how to direct the window/door/roofing guys.
check out our whitepaper library.
try r301.2.1.3 wind speed conversion. there is a table that converts between fastest mile and 3 second gust.
