DESIGN OF CARPORT:

STRUCTURAL CALCULATIONS:
Properties:
Length= 20’
Width= 12’
Height= 7.83’
Wind load= 160 Mph
Assumed Values:
Kzt= 1.00
Kd= 0.85
Member Properties for:
Mean Roof  Ht., h = 7.83 ft ft. (h = (hr+he)/2, for angle >10 deg.)
Check Criteria for a Low-Rise Building
1. Is h <= 60’?........................ok
2.   2. Is h <= Lesser of L or B?.................................ok
Positive & Negative Internal Pressure Coefficients:
+GCpi Coef. = 0.18 (positive internal pressure)
-GCpi Coef. = -0.18 (negative internal pressure)
If h < 15 then: Kh = 2.01*(15/zg)^(2/a)
If h >= 15 then: Kh = 2.01*(z/zg)^(2/a) 
a= 9.50
zg= 900.00
kh= 0.85
I= 1.00
Velocity Pressure: qz = 0.00256*Kz*Kzt*Kd*V^2*I 
qh = 47.29 psf qh = 0.00256*Kh*Kzt*Kd*V^2*I (qz evaluated at z = h)

MWFRS Wind Load for Transverse Direction MWFRS Wind Load for Longitudinal Direction

Use roof angle q = 0 degrees for Longitudinal Direction.

For Trans. when GCpf is neg. in Zones 2/2E:
For Trans. when GCpf is neg. in Zones 2/2E:
Zones 2/2E dist. = 6 ft
For Long. When GCpf is neg. in Zones 2/2E:
Zones 2/2E dist. = 10 ft
