I am working on an outdoor sloped conveyor that is the typical conveyor you would see when you go to baggage claim at an airport. I is in the shape of an elongated oval. It is 90' long and 17' wide and 5'high. It sits at grade level.
I have used the solid sign provisions of ASCE 7-05 for the lateral loading and calculated a 40PSF load, with 140mph, exp C type III (airport- essential structure needed in an emergency), importance factor 1.15.
There must be an uplift component to this structure, what section of the ASCE 7-05 would you use?
Thank you for your help.
