Open Structure with obstructed flow
Open Structure with obstructed flow
(OP)
Hi -
I'm designing a canopy with is open on 3 sides but not on the side where it's added to the existing building. Since the existing building is there, I feel this should be looked at as an open building with obstructed flow since in this one direction the wind cannot be considered free flow and there will be a resultant uplift when the wind hits the existing building wall. Any thoughts on this? Am I looking at this correctly?
