picnic shelter
(OP)
Consider an open structure (picnic shelter)
Should the roof be considered as an overhang for calculating the wind load pressure by the ASCE7-98 procedure?
or what is the true definition of an "overhang" in ASCE7-98?
Thanks.

Just to let you know, the shelter is on its own structure not associated with any other building. and the shelter has a 5/12 hip roof slope.
oh by the way, I can visualize it flying too.

Keep in mind there are probably laws against exposing young minds to this screwy profession, although if he's like his Dad, we can use all we can get!
