Wind Load on Trellis

(OP)
thread507-244903: Design Live Load for Trellis?

i have a circular domed trellis (see attached picture. is a half circle (180 degrees) with radius of about 6'. the trellis is continuous in and out of the page. the cmu wall on the right in the picture is not continuous but only columns spaced every so often. the wall on the left is continous. the framing is minimal used only to support soon to be growing vines/plants only.

for this case, or any case, how am i to devise a component and cladding loading for an open structure with a domed roof? i'm assuming the roof will soon be covered enough with plants to take wind load (per linked thread), but the structure would still be 'open'. in ASCE 7-10 section 30.1.1, No. 5 for Part 5 doesn't mention domed open structures. am i missing something?

help/thanks.
