Wind Load Calculation for Cantilever Canopies

01/22/2013 1:16 AM

Dear Sir,

I want to design a steel frame for a fabric parking shade, please help me in this formula as the wind load is F= Cp*q*Bay Width, I have the values of Cp and wind pressure q but when I am using the Bay width the load is coming out high, so is there any factor to be multiplies with the bay width, suppose my baywidth is 9m c/c and there are total 4 bays cp is 0.4 q is 308Kn/m2 , so what will be the wind load on the main frame?

The high uplift load is correct.

First, you need to tell us where you are and what is the applicable building code(s) that you are using....
