Description
If a free-standing roof (for example, a gas station roof) is to be designed, the load must be determined in accordance with Section 7.3 of EN 1991-1-4.
This model was used to demonstrate the determination of wind loads for canopy roof structures according to EN 1991-1-4.

Determining Wind Loads for Canopy Roof Structures According to EN 1991-1-4
If a canopy roof (for example, a filling station roof) should be designed, a load determination with regard to Section 7.3 of EN 1991-1-4 is required.

The load distribution on my members looks different when using the Load Transfer surface vs. the Load Wizards. What is the reason?
- I received an error message “Surface of incompatible type... (Surface in upper plane of building story must be of ‘Load transfer’ type)” when running the calculation. What is the reason?
- My beam has a continuous lateral support and therefore lateral torsional buckling (LTB) is not a concern. How do I define the effective length?
- How can I efficiently define line hinges on several surfaces?
- How do I include the overstrength factor(s), Ωo in the ASCE 7 load combinations?
