We have a small worshop that has an arched roof that will slide to the side for observatory functions. We are attempting to develop wind loads, for an open building. I'm unclear how to derive the loads. Chapter 27 part 1 allows for open buildings, but Figure 3-3 is for arched roofs for enclosed or partially enclosed. I'd think that my only option is to use Figure 27.3-5.
From Chapter 28, part 1, the title says enclosed or partially enclosed. the note adds that chap. 28 is also for open buildings. 28.3 equations refer to Figure 28.3-1, which is for enclosed or partially enclosed, NOT open buildings. 28.3.5 is for "horizontal wind load on open or partially enclosed buildings," but does not account for vertical loads.
Any recommendations.
