Wind load calculation for roof covering and add-ons

Building parameters
Building location: Steinbach, Manitoba

Building geometry:

Low-rise building Low-sloped roof (0° < α <= 7°)

Height (reference height): 30 ft (9 m)
Width (smaller plan dimension): 70 ft (21 m)
Length: 100 ft (30 m)

Building exposure: Open

Building openings: Category 1

Building importance: Low

Wind loads for roof cladding

Roof area Wind load

End zone width, Z 7 ft (2.1 m)

Corner, -50 psf (-2.4 kPa)

Edge, -23 psf (-1.1 kPa)

Field, -17 psf (-0.8 kPa)

(Conversion Unit: 1 ft = 0.3048 m, 1 psf = 47.88 Pa, 1lb/ft2 = 4.8824 kg/m2)
