Since the least value ofn is undoubtedly greater thanand since a change in n does not have very much effect on the valueof H, it follows that the probable value of H will lie between thecurves for which n » % and n «oo f on Diagram II. Hence the leewardreaction due to a uniform horizontal wind load j£ on the side of thebuilding will be about ,3 f , and the reaction on the windward col-umn will be about ,7 |, This is quite different from the customaryassumption that the horizontal resctions on
