Wind load on External Hanging Ceiling
Wind load on External Hanging Ceiling
(OP)
Im designing a hanging ceiling for external use. I have to follow ASCE as per the project specification. But when i check the code (ASCE )no separate wind load calculation recommendation for Ceiling. If we consider it as components and cladding (C/C) All the hanging rods (M10) fails because of up wards -ve pressure ( bcz of compression) and need to brace all the hanging threaded rods (M10).Th ceiling is hanging on a concrete slab and i think the internal and external pressure has no effect on the wind load on ceiling. please advice me to find solution for applying correct wind load.

The ceiling is going to see more pressure than it is suction and therefore if you need more bracing, then so be it. Might be better to increase the hanging rod size to minimize the level of bracing required.
