Wind load on Canopy roof as per Euro Code EN 1991-1-4
Wind load on Canopy roof as per Euro Code EN 1991-1-4
(OP)
Dear All,
I have a doubt about the wind load application on canopy roof as per Euro Code EN 1991-1-4. The code tabulated the net pressure coefficients for Zones. The question is for wind direction i.e parallel to length of the canopy, is the same zone split up to be followed or no need to consider this wind direction?

Typically the zone designations are to be considered for the wind in all directions, including oblique cases.

Ive done mostly compressor sheds that are partially enclosed at the top on 1/2/3/4 sides so I always did wind both sides using zones according to tables.
Most of the roof for canopy is zone A anyways, and zone B and C coeff. are practially the same so I guess it wouldnt matter much (except maybe for side overhang if you have one)
I alway use blockage factor fi = 1.
Only tossing my experience if it helps :)
