Does anybody ave an example of wind load determination for a canopy?  The 
wind resisting elements are a column and a beam forming a T. Something like:

-----------------------------

            |
            |
            |
            |

The T frames will be connected with purlins running in the other direction 
(3, one at the center and two at the edges) and roof decking on top. It is 
an open structure that will have uplift but I assume also lateral. How do 
you determine both using a US code?  A solved example would be greta help.

Thank you!
