John,
Code produced in the hurricane prone Caribbean based on British Standards 
that used a 3-sec gust as its averaging period there are pressure 
coefiicients for Shelter roofs without walls. for a 10deg pitch and a 30 deg 
pitch.

The code has been extensively and successfully used in the Caribbean for 
thirty years and many hurricanes have passed through in this period.

I can scan and send you the pages if you wish.

Mark
