STD310 – 2012 WFCM – Part 1: Wind Speed and Design Pressure Determination According to ASCE 7-10

What are the pressures on the underside of an open foundation structure?
How do we determine the risk category?
With reference to siding attachment while using ASCE 7-10, should somebody use the ultimate pressures or convert to ASD pressure?
I noticed that MWFRS coefficients are used. That's ok for walls, but I typically use C&C coefficients for truss anchorages. How does WFCM address this?
Are the Ch. 28 loads on the projected area as in 7-05 or are they perpendicular to the surface, thus needing to be resolved into horizontal & vertical components?
For solar design is there any internal pressure?
Exposures previously could vary around a structure, is that still the case?
Explain the Exposure Category that has 1500' criteria.
What is the constant 0.00256 in ASCE 7-10 equation 27.3-1 based on?
Would Exposure D include large bodies of water like lake michigan or even some smaller inland lakes?
Why the reduction in load wind speed and pressure design, when the weather events are more frequent and massive?
What is the difference between the envelope procedure and directional procedure?
