5.2.2.2. — Wind Load and Other Air Pressure Loads

(1) This Article applies to the determination of wind load to be used in the design of materials, components and assemblies, including their connections, that separate dissimilar environments or are exposed to the exterior, where these are,

(a) subject to wind load, and

(b) required to be designed to resist wind load.

(2) Except as provided in Sentence (3), the wind load described in Sentence (1) shall be 100% of the specified wind load determined according to Part 4 and based on,

(a) the reference velocity pressure defined in Clause 4.1.7.1.(4), and

(b) the gust effect factor defined in Clause 4.1.7.1.(6).

(3) Where it can be shown by test or analysis that a material, component, assembly or connection described in Sentence (1) will be subject to less than 100% of the specified wind load, the wind load described in Sentence (1) shall be not less than the load determined by test or analysis.

Editor's note

In Clauses 5.2.2.2.(2)(a) and (b), the cross-references to Sentences 4.1.7.1.(4) and 4.1.7.1.(6) are filed in O. Reg. 350/06 with the wrong level word ('Clause 4.1.7.1.(4)' and 'Clause 4.1.7.1.(6)'); this map reproduces the source as filed. The e-Laws consolidation corrects both to 'Sentence'. This correction was not enacted by an amending regulation.
