wind loads on conveyor
(OP)
When using ASCE7 analysis for wind force on "other strucures" to solve for wind loads on a conveyor truss, is the calculated force applied to the windward and leeward members? From what I read elswhere it seems I should just apply to the windward side, but that does not make common sense. The force equation in the code may be accounting for the leeward direction, but where can I find this described in the code?
Thanks in advance

The Guide to Using... has lots of examples. I'm almost sure they have an example using these provisions, probably showing a sign. I think it'll probably not apply force to the leeward side.
