wind load on canopies
would anybody know how to calculate wind load on
curved canopies? any code or article? thanks.
find a job or post a job opening
depends which country?
in the uk bs6399 gives comprehensive rules for wind load calculation on such elements.
frank:
if the canopy is open, open structure calcs in the us will govern (see asce 7).  don't forget about the minimum design load portions.
how big's your "canopy"?
