Wind load on Conveyor trusses

Wind load on Conveyor trusses

(OP)
Need some sources/references for wind loads on long sloped conveyors.
Have not seen any articles, examples thru searching in google

Appreciate it.

RE: Wind load on Conveyor trusses

Canada's building code commentary has some provisions for wind on truss members and suspended pedestrian bridges. ASCE must have similar provisions. Hopefully you can find something more specific however. I'd tend to be conservative and consider things like ice buildup and wind pressure on the payload if appropriate.

The greatest trick that bond stress ever pulled was convincing the world it didn't exist.
