ASCE 07 min wind load on car shade canopies ?
(OP)
We are designing a cantilevered car shade canopies to cover 18ft X 40 ft, but we end up using:
3 steel post 78.7X78.7x 0.4 in .
3 isolated footing (width 40 in) (80 in length) (30 in depth)
it seems huge! right? we considered minimum wind pressure as 10 psf.
is there any exception in the code regarding the minimum wind load on car canopies?
Thank you in advance

As EOR's we should take the responsibility to design our structures to support the components we allow in our design per that industry standards.

Actually I am not sure if my structure can be considered as building or not! in the link below u may find something similar to what I am designing.

the covering material is perforated. considering 10 psf seems to me very conservative,I am wanderings if there some exceptions in code that allow me to go below 10 psf.

I will recheck my calculation.However, the covering material is perforated, is there any exception in code to reduce such load in such case?
Thx
