Winds loads on building with a grating roof
Winds loads on building with a grating roof
(OP)
All,
Does anyone have any information regarding how a building with solid walls and an open grating roof should be classified with regards to being "enclosed" or "partially enclosed" per ASCE 7. If classified in strict accordance with the code this would not be a partially enclosed building since there are no openings in any walls.
Thanks.
