* A is effective wind area for C&C: Span Length * Effective Width


* Effective width need not be less than 1/3 of the span length
* Maximum and minimum values of pressure shown.
* + Pressures acting toward surface, - Pressures acting away from surface
* Overhang pressures calculated per Para 30.9
* Per Para 30.2.2 the Minimum Pressure for C&C is 9.60 psf [0.460 kPa] {Includes LF}
* Interpolation can be used for values of A that are between those values shown.
