Load Specifications
Wind loads shown are uniform loads on a 4′- 6″ wide canopy with 2 braces.
Wind loads calculated per ASCE 7-16 Section 30.11, using net pressure coefficients on attached canopies considering contributions from upper and lower surfaces.
- Topographic factor, Kzt = 1.0
- Wind directionality factor, Kd = 0.85
- Ground elevation factor, Ke = 1.0
- Net pressure coefficient, GCp = -1.4 for Uplift pressure & +0.9 for Downward pressure
- Velocity pressure coefficient, Kz = 0.85 for Exposure – B & 1.04 for Exposure – C
- Mean building eave height, he:
- Max 60′ above ground for Exposure – B
- Max 40’ above ground for Exposure – C
Snow loads shown are uniform loads on a 4′-6″ wide canopy with 2 braces. Snow loads shall be determined by engineer utilizing applicable codes and project-specific design criteria.
NOTE: Wider canopies, more stringent loading requirements and customer engineering analysis available.
Use our Canopy Calculator to generate specifications based on load data, building codes, risk categories and building dimensions.
