Banner Wind Loads
Banner Wind Loads
(OP)
I have a client that wants to hang a banner from the side of an existing building. The banner is supported at the top and bottom and is 4’ wide x 20’ tall. The code to be used is ASCE7-05. My question is which wind load section on ASCE 7-05 does this fall under? I am guessing section 6.5.15 as the sign is not freestanding.

Yes, these will be close to the building, about 4' away to the outer edge max. I didn't get a chance to look at ASCE7-10 to see if there was any clarification. I'm surprised they use C&C loading with the internal pressure set to 0 as I think that would give you lower wind loads.
