Wind load on open structure
Wind load on open structure
(OP)
How do you handle the wind on an open structure such as a Gazebo or open porch attached to a residentail structure?
ANSI/ASCE only addresses open structure with monoslope roof.
Does anyone know of available reference material on the web??

To which Guide are you referring? Where is it?

UcfSE
NC is still using th 02 version
mjl23 that doesn't seem right the enclose structure is less than a partially closed structure and should be way less than a completly open structure

But don't take my word for it, check for yourself: "Guide to the Use of the Wind Load Provisions of ASCE 7-02"
https://www.asce.org/bookstore/book.cfm?book=4082
I don't think it matters if you reference 7-05 instead of 7-02. I think the basic principles in 7-05 are the same as 7-02, I think more tables for other structures were added, etc.

Thanks for the link to that book.
