(OP)
Figure 6-10 on page 51 of ASCE 7-05 identifies the Cp value to use for arched roofs. How would you define "Windward Quarter and Center Half" for an arched roof. ASCE 7-05 does not provide any information regarding this. I have attached two options which show two different interpretations. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks

I recommend you look at Dr. Kishor Mehta's book "Wind Loads: Guide to the Wind Load Provisions of ASCE 7-05". I have the ASCE7-02 edition and it covers your question. However, Dr. Mehta's 7-05 Guide answers your question using 7-05 requirements.
