I need a simple formula to do this for a one-off project. Where can I find some guidance on the calculations? Can't find much in VIII-1.

For simplicity I have used stagnation pressure x projected area as a uniform load and then used beam formulae.

However, I think your best bet is the Building Codes, like NBC / ABC in Canada (Alberta), for example.
