Wind Load on Conical Roof
(OP)
Anyone have some good documentation pertaining to calculating wind loads for Conical Roofs? Preferably following NBCC, but any would do.
Thanks!

A domed roof would only be right for a cone as high as it is wide, but a round tower wind loads will apply the conservative solution (higher load). Theoretically, a cone has half the projected cross-section of a cylinder - but as an approximation, you can justify the 80% height rule as reasonable.
