This is a product I have come across in working on existing school renovation projects, particularly in the upper Midwest, that can be difficult to find information on. Several posts throughout the years on this web site have asked about it with little or no response. I believe it has not been...
I usually am looking at tall screen walls for this type of loading, and thus I guess my question applies more towards that type of application. i always apply my own interpretation of Case B loading, but I am curious how others approach it. You may well be right regarding torsion on a pylon sign.
Wind loading on walls/signs in Case A of Table 29.4-1 represents a uniform wind load pattern placed on the structure with its resultant acting at the centerline of the fence/wall. Wind loading in Case C represents an oblique loading scenario applied as a stepped load pattern along the wall/sign...
