- Compute wind pressures using ASCE 7‑16 §26.10 velocity pressure equation. - Apply loads in both principal directions using a 3D analysis model. - Check story drift against ASCE 7‑16 §12.12.1 limit: \Delta \leq 0.020h (where h = story height). - If exceeded, increase stiffness (larger members, shear walls, or bracing)
