RE: Carpark bracing
Are you asking about the main structural system and framing for this? If so, there would be multiple ways to frame and build a carport canopy like this. The size of the members would depend of course on the location (snow, seismic, wind) effects.
RE: Carpark bracing
I've designed the structure, and the members length& sections are chosen,but the matter now is how can I provide a bracing system to account for wind loads, I attached a snapshot for the structure shows the main dimensions, and it'll be repeated every 7 meters,
hope these information are helping,
Thank you again, and I'm waiting for your reply :)

let's study the two choices, between the columns and in the roof plan, for sure I don't mean to use both, but just to add them to my knowledge :)
I'll be very thankful for you :)
