Design wind loads for bearing walls at east and west ends: The east and west walls directly support the roof joists so they will be subjected to flexure from wind on the wall and axial force from loads on the roof. Since this is a fairly localized effect and not really related to overall stability of the entire structure, C & C loads will be used. Note: This could possibly be considered MWFRS since the wind is on more than one surface but since this is a localized effect of wind the higher C & C loads will be used.
