How should wind loads be applied to Roof Top Units (RTU)
these are mechanical A/C units usually an Air Handler Unit (AHU) or a Condensing Unit (CU) that are usually about 10.0'x7.5'x5.5'?
1. Should they be treated as an enclosed box and apply load on the windward, leeward and roof side of it...
why and why not?
should a third party, registered engineer, (other than the Engineer of Record) review the shop drawings and provide the entire Construction Administration phase for a 25000 SF two-story wharehouse?
why and why not? please state reasons and backup your position on this issue...
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.

it is an existing 45 story high rise.
the addition is an extansion to the restaurant on the 2nd floor. the addition is a canopy half of it is enclosed.
wind pressure by the ASCE7-98 are way high. some 210 psf suction for components.
wind tunnel study is expensive for this addition.
thanks

what should I be concerned about in specifying stainless steel anchors in a corrosive environment.
can I still used the high strength carbon steel anchors?
(i.e. HILTI HAS SS AISI304/316 SS as opposed to HILTI HAS-E Standard ISO 898 class 5.8)
