The document outlines the calculation of wind loads on a shade structure according to ASCE-7-05 standards. It provides the basic wind pressure equation and defines the variables for a design wind speed of 40m/s, C exposure factor of 0.57, and I importance factor of 1.0. This results in a basic wind pressure of 0.475 KN/m2. It then lists the net pressure coefficients and calculated wind pressures for various load cases with windward and leeward sides under clear and obstructed wind flow conditions.

qz = (0.613)(Kz)(Kzt)(Kd)(V^2)(I) Eq-61-5 V = design wind speed = 40m/s Kzt = topographic factor = 1 (can be taken as 1.00) (Cl 6.5.7.2) Kd = Directionality factor ( 0.85 as per table 6-4) Kz = Exposure factor = 0.57 for “C” for ht: 3.15 m (Table 6-3) I = Importance factor =1.0 qz = (0.613)(0.57)(1)(0.85)(40^2)(1.0) = 0.475 KN/m² As per ASCE 7-5, the wind loads on open structures can be calculated ,
The basic wind pressure F = qzGCn (Eq 6-26)
Gust factor, G = 0.85 for rigid structures. Cn = Net pressure coefficient as per Fig: 6-18B FOR ROOF SLOPE 30 ° Load Case: 01 Case:A –Clear Wind flow, Wind 0 Suction on the wind ward side = qzGCnet =0.475x 0.85 x 1.3 = 0.524 KN/m² (Pressure) Suction on the lee ward side = qzGCnet =0.475x 0.85 x 0.3 = 0.121 KN/m² (Pressure) Load Case: 02 Case:B –Clear Wind flow, Wind 0 Suction on the wind ward side = qzGCnet =0.475x 0.85 x -0.1 = -0.04 KN/m² (Suction) Suction on the lee ward side = qzGCnet =0.475x 0.85 x -0.9 = -0.363 KN/m² (Suction) Load Case: 03 Case:A –Obstructed wind flow, Wind 0 Suction on the wind ward side = qzGCnet =0.475x 0.85 x -0.7 = -0.282 KN/m² (Suction) Suction on the lee ward side = qzGCnet =0.475x 0.85 x -0.7 = -0.282 KN/m² (Suction) Load Case: 04 Case:B – Obstructed wind flow, Wind 0 Suction on the wind ward side = qzGCnet =0.475x 0.85 x -0.1 = -0.04 KN/m² (Suction) Suction on the lee ward side = qzGCnet =0.475x 0.85 x -1.1 = -0.444 KN/m² (Suction)
