Thank you this was much help, can you please help me to understand why we reduced the wind to 0.6 for ASD use?

[@siyaksharifi5808]

So helpful

[@SopremaUSA]

Thank you for the positive feedback.

[@armantatar7842]

Very good presentation.

[@SopremaUSA]

Thank you! Let us know if we can provide you with any building envelope solutions.

[@AKAlex66]

Which section you would use from ASCE7-16 for wind load on stand-alone canopy and canopy attached to the building? Thanks

[@alfredonski]

Those an open structure, like a free standing wooden pavillion with a single pitch roof, have less uplift load than an enclosed structure of the same size? A friend of mine recently told me that the wind "flows right through it" so its not as bad.

[@GoranAdil]

Allowable stress design p= Ultimate Desing Pressure*SQRT (0.6).

[@oimpe]

If you're converting your pressures to ASD, after multiplying by .6, do you still apply ASD load combinations factors? For example .6D + .6W? Great Video!!

[@Rheynez]

Nope, just the 0.6 one time. The 0.6 he showed at the end of the video is from the ASD load combos. All ASD load combos have wind factored at 0.6, so sometimes it's a bit of a shortcut to just multiply your final wind pressure by 0.6 and know that's the value you will be designing with

[@oimpe]

@@Rheynez thanks for the reply!

[@SopremaUSA]

@O. Ivan thank your for your question and feedback. Thank you @Rheynez for the accurate response. Let us know if we can help. soprema.us/contact-us/

Hi
After getting the presure, how can I chose my system?
For example, if I've got 60 psf and my client asked for 2 ply roofing membrane system, what is my next step ?

[@darrenperry6188]

The next step is to find a roof system that has been tested in a test lab that can withstand -60 psf. These are published by FM and by other 3rd party agencies. Please contact SOPREMA if we may be of help! 800 356 3521
