wind on golf range canopy

(OP)
looking for guidance for determining wind loading for golf driving range, ie, a long narrow building, fully open at front.  could there be negative pressure beneath the mono pitch canopy roof  

RE: wind on golf range canopy

If by negative pressure you mean uplift, the answer is yes.

Yep, sounds like partially enclosed, usually the worse case of all time for uplift :)

RE: wind on golf range canopy

Yes, it will definitely have uplift.  I saw a moveable canopy at a driving range that had been flipped over during a wind storm.  Apparently the manufacturer had been making these for about 50 years, and this one was the 2nd one to flip over.

RE: wind on golf range canopy

You might want to search for previous threads on overhangs/canopies.  There have been several in the last year or so.  Design is covered by ASCE-7-05 section 6.5.11.4.
