Is it conservative for a quick calculation, that wind load on a steel truss (an open structure)be treated as solid plate (like long rectangle plate/sign)?
My boss tells me rather than calculating wind load on an open structures (on a face of truss) assume it is like a free standing wall or a sign, this sounds alright unless there is something we are missing?
I appreciate your comments.
Thank you
