Wind load distribution at tilt wall panel leg and opening
Wind load distribution at tilt wall panel leg and opening
(OP)
I am designing a tilt wall panel with an opening for a overhead truck door. The question is how do I correctly distribute wind loads from the truck door (when closed)to the panel leg. Do I take the width tributary
(1/2 bay door width) to the panel leg and multiply by the C&C wind pressure? How wide do I "spread the bay door wind load over the panel leg?

I will assume you are designing as a partially enclosed structure. The area of the flexible gaskets and roll opening at the top can exceed the allowance for consideration as an "opening" if you are considering the structure as "enclosed".
