Any idea how to get the wind loads for a Free Standing Pavilion, Hip roof ( it is not a gable)? It is a self-supporting roof system without walls, using ASCE7-16, Open Structures.
Thanks,

thanks, but my case is a hip roof for open structures, not a gable roof.

It is close enough. These coefficients are all approximate. What if you have a very long hip roof? Most of it will be a gable. Just the end is hip roof. IMO it is heavily controlled by the roof angle.
