Membrane Cover Uplift
- Thread starter Beamman
- Start date
API650 and ASCE 7 include design loadings for uplift on roofs, but they are not necessarily applicable to a floppy dynamic roof.
One consideration is that the uplift can't significantly exceed the tearing strength of the fabric- I've seen posts elsewhere where this was taken advantage of in awning design and the like.
