To simplify the load determination, we will assume the Casper Hospital is a 210 ftx162 ft rectangle. The building, as seen in the Typical Braced Frames Showing Story Height document, is 122' 6" tall. Treat internal pressure (qi) as 0. What is the total (windward + leeward) design wind force acting on the hospital in the short direction (i.e the unit vector that is used to describe the short side of the rectangle) when the long side is the windward face? Use the ASCE 7-16 document to determine V, Ke, Kz, Kat, Kd, G, Cp and I when doing your calculations. Table 27.2-1 in ASCE 7-16 will help guide you through the process. You may use a spread sheet to aid in your calculations as you will have many K, factors for different heights of the building.
