Hello Everyone,

I am designing program building currently that has a small enclosed section but mainly consists of an open pad with a gable roof (I attached a quick sketch to this post). I've mainly looked at he wind through Figure 28.4-1 of ASCE 7-10 but I a looking for guidance for how to go about finding any loads applying uplift on the roof. Does anyone have any tips, tricks, or references I could use?
