A low-rise storage facility (low-importance structure) is in an area of St. Catherines, Ontario which is considered to represent rough terrain. The main roof structure consisted of steel roof beams which run perpendicular to the roof peak (refer to figure below). The steel frames are spaced every 5.0 metres. The snow and dead loads (incl. self-weight) have already been calculated and shown in the figure below.
a) Using NBCC 2020 Cl.4.1.7.6, calculate the unfactored wind pressures acting on the two angled roof beams (p1 and p2).
b) Compute the design factored uniformly distributed loading (kN/m) acting on the beams (in the vertical or gravity direction) and then compute the vertical support reactions. Based on these reactions, determine if the supports need to be designed to resist uplift actions.
