DIaphragm attachment for Gas Station Canopy? C-Clamps???
DIaphragm attachment for Gas Station Canopy? C-Clamps???
(OP)
I'm designing a gas station canopy for an architect in a high wind region and need some help on attaching the diaphragm. It appears from other plans I've looked at, that the diaphragm is typically on the bottom of the structural steel and attached with C-Clamps? Does anyone know where I can get capacites for these...or another idea for attachment??? I'm guessing I can't use welds or TEKS due to appearance issues?
Thank you!
Thank you!

I'm sorry I can't help you. I have designed fuel canopies, but I used HSS.
