Hey everyone,
I went down the rabbit hole a bit and want to ask everyone else how they deal with it.
We do a lot of projects with big sloped roof overhangs (think big porch roofs over 10' deep) that are not at the roof level.
For the components and cladding loads for wind blowing toward the house (and under the overhang) specifically, would you find it appropriate to use Figure 30.11 for uplift on the overhang with a sloped roof? I read ASCE's summary of changes to ASCE 7-16 and they were pretty clear that 30.11 is for "flat canopies" attached to a building. But what about a canopy with a sloped roof? I would think the net overall effect would be about the same.
It seems to me, it would be appropriate to use 30.11 still for canopies with a sloped roof attached to a home, as long as the roof line of the canopy is distinctly separated from the main roof line, otherwise it would be back in the roof overhang category.
What does everyone else think?
Thanks!
