Evaluating wind pressure Uplift - Entertainment Stage structure
Evaluating wind pressure Uplift - Entertainment Stage structure
(OP)
Hi,
I've to design an outdoor (temporary) stage structure. The dimensions are: 70' x 53' x 45' high. The roof is covered with a dense fabric (kevlar type) and the rest of the structure we use a mesh type shade.
I know that if I have fabric around 3 faces and my downstage is left open the wind will penetrate the stage and the uplift will be very important. But I'm unable to interprete the ASCE-7 wind calculation for this kind of structure.
Anyone has an idea ?
any help would be appreciated,
thank you,

I am not familiar with the ASCE-7 document.

Do you think I can reduce the internal pressure on the assumption that I have a mesh type fabric on 3 faces that will let the air flow through? Because the internal pressure is giving me an uplift of 25 psf on the roof (its very important)
Any suggestion ?
thank you all for helping,
