Hi,
I am building an elevated open structure at 13 feet highest level to install solar panels. I am using the IronRidge custom connection hardware.
I am using 3" ID pipes for the posts and cross beams. The cross beams is 21 feet long on 3 support posts.
Since it is long and heavy, I would...
I am designing an open mono-slope structure and have the MWFRS & C&C wind pressures calculated.
I took the wind pressures from C&C and multiply the zone areas with their respective area pressures, adding the zones downward forces and zones uplift forces individually, I obtained the total...
Can someone explain how and where to apply the wind pressures calculated from MWFRS & C & C using ASCE7-16 please?
This is the first time I am trying to design a mono-slope roof open frame structure to place solar panels on top.
I have obtained qz = 18.43 psf for C &C with EQ: qz = 0.00256 Kz...
I live in Southern California. I am trying to design an open steel frames structure with 3" pipe to place Solar Panels on top. It just have 2 bays and has 6 columns of pipe posts. It is elevated and has a 24^ mono-sloped roof. The wind speed is 110 mph and Exposure B.
I computed based on ASCE...
I need help with the wind load concept. I am a civil engineer but not working in building structures. I am designing an elevated open steel structure to install solar panels for my home. The structure is 13 feet tall and is mono slope roof at 29^. I used ASCE-16 and got a horizontal wind load...
