ASCE 7-22 retains the use of Strength Design (Ultimate) wind speeds. However, for portable units used for less than 6 weeks (e.g., event ticket booths), you may refer to Chapter 37 (Temporary Structures), which allows a reduction factor of 0.75 on wind loads, provided the structure is removed or secured when a warning is issued.

Warning for portable classroom manufacturers: A school portable (occupied 9 months/year) does not qualify as "temporary." Under ASCE 7-22 portable scrutiny, these units must meet the full 1.0 factor of permanent buildings. If you want, I can:

| Risk Category | Description | Importance Factor ($I$) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | I | Low hazard to human life (Ag, Storage) | 0.87 (Wind), 1.0 (Seismic) | | II | Standard Occupancy (Residential, Office) | 1.00 | | III | High Occupancy (Schools, Civic) | 1.15 (Wind), 1.25 (Seismic) | | IV | Essential Facilities (Hospitals, EOC) | 1.15 (Wind), 1.50 (Seismic) |

A portable building’s undercarriage (I-beams, wiring trays, axles) creates a truss-like effect that traps wind. ASCE 7-22 Figure 29.5-2 for "Open Signs" actually applies to portable chassis. If you use the standard building ( C_p = 1.3 ) for the main frame, you are underestimating load. The correct value for a portable chassis is often ( C_p = 1.9 ) to 2.2.

ASCE 7-22 refines Exposure B, C, and D. For a portable building placed in a field (Exposure C) for three months, you cannot legally design for Exposure B just because you plan to put it in a city later. (End) Related search suggestions will be prepared

Here is the twist many portable designers ignore: Seismic design for portable units is less about the building shaking apart and more about the building walking or tipping.

ASCE 7-22 introduces new seismic design categories (SDC) based on updated maps (incorporating the 2018 NSHMP model). For portable structures:

Generally not a governing factor for portable structures because:
