Bruce,

 

        There's information on this topic in the "Commentaries on Part 4 of the National Building Code of Canada"

 

Good luck

Subject: wind on steel frames without cladding

I remember a procedure we used at the metal building company I used to work for, for analyzing the wind load on bare steel frames.  This was for open buildings where the wind pressure is directly against the main steel frame and I believe was in the MBMA design manual and was based on Canadian research.  Can anyone help me locate information on this topic?  I suppose one possibility would be to buy the new MBMA design manual (assuming the bare frame wind calc info is still in there).
