for free roof
h/d varies as the shape of structure changes for tilt angles.
at tilt = 0 h/d=0.17
at tilt = 15 h/d=0.38
at tilt = 30 h/d=0.7
at tilt = 35 h/d=0.84
at tilt = 45 h/d=1.2
at tilt = 90
for hoarding
b/c=0.48
c/h=0.85
so cpn for hoarding =1.3,
not 1.39 as mentioned earlier
A PV racking system is just a supporting structure for photovoltaic solar panels. The solar panels form a roof and the supporting structure is open on all sides. The tilt of the solar panels that I am having trouble finding pressure coefficients for is from 30 degrees up to 45 degrees.
Thanks...
I am working on the structural design of a PV racking system which, for the purposes of determining wind loads, can be modelled as a mono slope free roof (empty under).
Unfortunately in the Australian standards wind load information for such structures is limited and after spending many hours of...
