    Is there a Wind load Under a house on Piles

    Here is the FEMA Page (I hope). The only pressures on the floor are +- GCpi, internal pressures. No external uplift or downward force, according to FEMA.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=e357d272-70c5-49d4-a7be-e3a60658cdf8&file=fema55_volii_ch8.pdf

    Are micropiles proprietary products?

    There is a free design guide for micropiles on this page. The 36th item down. http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/engineering/geotech/library_listing.cfm

    Wind Loads on T-Shaped Canopy

    Look at ASCE 7-10 pp 267- 270. This has design notes for Free roofs. I would try using monoslope free roof with 0 (zero) roof angle. The Corps of Engineers have some design guides for open structures, but I can't locate it right now.

    Is there a Wind load Under a house on Piles

    For a beach house elevated on timber piles, is there a wind load acting under the house. Is it the same as a flat roof only inverted?
