Gas Station Canopy - Structural engineering general discussion
May 20, 2003 · Gas Station Canopy. Gas Station Canopy. tw (Structural) (OP) 20 May 03 10:12. I've been asked to help an architect design a gas station canopy for a typical 2 pump island that will be an addition to an existing station. The canopy will be about 38x15 ft in plan with 2 columns. Neither he nor I have done one before.
Gas station Canopy Footing - Eng-Tips
6 Jul 10 17:12. Hi, The gas station canopy is 102'x30' and supported by 4 HSS columns. I am designing only the footing and making sure it is sized for a moment as well as axial load provided by canopy manufacturer. Below the canopy is a slab on grade. The bottom of each of the four footings will be 4'-0" below the finished grade.

Sep 26, 2024 · Gas station canopies are the first things to fail under high winds. It was probably marginal at best as it was originally designed! TLHS (Structural) 26 Sep 24 17:38. Also, if this is a seismic area and this thing is old you may have other modern code issues relating to cantilever style lateral resisting systems that cause you problems.

Dec 10, 2008 · Yes, you may contact me through the Eng-Tips procedure. Lion06 (Structural) 27 Jan 09 13:39. I was driving a few weeks ago during some relatively high winds (maybe 30-40 mph) and saw a gas station canopy with only columns where …
"Gas Station" Canopy - Structural engineering general discussion
Oct 11, 2002 · The mean roof height is under 15' and the limits in plan view of the canopy are 28'x33'. Using the "Other Structures" formula (not adding in the Af, so I can get a psf wind load) for components and cladding I get 9.5 psf. This seems ridiculously low. Job is in CT on the coast, Pv=18.5 psf, I=1.08. Cf = 0.45.
ASCE 7-10 Canopy Wind Loads - Eng-Tips
10 Apr 19 21:06. I am in the process of designing a small free-standing canopy (8 ft x 35 ft 8’-0” high). Design code is IBC 2015/ASCE7-10. The canopy has a few vertical columns and horizontal beams but no siding (there is roofing). Roof slope is 1:12. I am trying to calculate the story shear for the roof for wind loads (seismic is straight ...
Open building definition - Structural engineering general …
Sep 30, 2010 · Open building definition. I am designing a freestanding canopy for a gas station in a hurricane region. It has 10 interior columns and a 50'x160' roof. It does not have walls. When looking at wind load, I'm wondering if this is an "open building" (ASCE 7 6.5.13) or "other structures" (ASCE 7 6.5.15).
HSS with holes - Structural engineering general discussion - Eng …
Apr 25, 2012 · Most sign pylons & light poles and plenty of gas station canopies have this type of hole in them. Take a 1" long slice of 4X4X.25 HSS & weld it inside the opening to reinforce it. Ot has nicely radiused corners and it can sit completely inside the column or project out 1/4" to provide a good place for a gasket on the electrical cover to seal.
Wind Loads on Open Structures - Structural engineering general ...
Nov 11, 2010 · The sides of the canopy are open with the exception of the top 3 feet which are cladded. By definition less than 80% of the wall area is open (78.5%) so by a strict reading of the code I must consider this structure to be enclosed. ASCE7-05 defines an enclosed structure as one that does not comply with the definition of open or partially ...
