ASCE 7-05 Canopy Pressures
ASCE 7-05 Canopy Pressures
(OP)
I have a 9 ft deep canopy and am trying to figure out what wind pressures are appropriate for the face of the canopy. I can get the roof pressures easily using the tables. And typically I have been using those roof pressures and calculating the pressure on the face assuming it to act as a solid sign above ground. Resently I have been thinking that might not be totally right. Shouldn't there be some windward and leeward pressures on the front and back faces? Any thoughts?

What is the configuration of your canopy (gabled? flat? troughed?) If it is flat, I would probably use components and cladding wall pressure coefficients evaulated at the highest point of the canopy.

The British and Canadians have some info in their codes which might be a helpful addition to ASCE 7.
