NBCC Open Structure Wind

[ToadJones]

Can one of our fellow Canadians point me in the right direction for Open Structure Wind loads from the National Building Code of Canada?

I essentially have a T-Shaped canopy I need to determine wind loading for.

Commentary I (Wind Load)is provided in User's Guide - NBC 2005 Structural Commentaries. Climatic information for various localities, including basic wind pressures are found in the National Building Code or the appropriate Provincial Code. In my location, I would use the Alberta Building Code.

BA-
Thanks,
After I posted I realized i needed the commentary.
I am not used to working with the NBCC and it is set up quite differently than ASCE 7

Thanks again.

The way a couple of sections are put together is rather annoying. You effectively can't do seismic design or wind design without the commentary. The commentaries have all the references, constants and diagrams you need to do the math.
