You answered a previous question regarding the wind load on netting. You posted this:
If you can get a hold of an ASHRAE design handbook, there's formulas for losses through screens of different sizes. You can then run the fluid mechanics formula using air at 90 mph (or whatever you wind speed is), density times losses times v^2/2g, using the density of air and get the pressure directly.I did this once for a wrought iron fence and the end pressure was believable (between zero and the ASCE 7 solid sign pressure).
Could you pelase explain how that formula works?
Thanks!
