ASCE 7-22 Components & Cladding external pressure coefficients: stepped roofs

    Hi all,

    I am reviewing ASCE 7-22, Figure 30.3-3, Components and Cladding: external pressure coefficients, for enclosed, partially enclosed, and partially open buildings, stepped roofs. I notice that there are no limitations listed under "Notation" for values of hi and Wi. For example, in ASCE 7-16, Figure 30.3-3 lists h1 > 10 ft, hi/h = 0.3 to 0.7, and Wi/W = 0.25 to 0.75. Were these limitations intentionally left out of ASCE 7-22? Or do the limitations listed in ASCE 7-16 still apply?

    Thanks.
