In the current validation example, we investigate wind pressure coefficient (Cp) of flat roof and walls with ASCE7-22 [1]. In the section 28.3 (Wind loads - main wind force resisting system) and Figure 28.3-1 (load case 1), there is a table which shows Cp value for different roof angle.

A rod with a square cross-section is fixed on the top end. The rod is loaded by self-weight. For comparison, the example is also modeled with the concentrated force load, the value of which is equal to the gravity. The aim of this verification example is to show the difference between these types of loading, although the total loading force is equal.
This example serves as a demonstration of the diaphragm constraint. The application is shown on a two-story structure. The structure is loaded by means of lateral forces according to Figure 1. Determine the maximum deflection of the structure ux in the direction of the loading forces using both the diaphragm constraint and the plate model of the floor.
