§ 17.48.260. Design and construction - Wind loads.

Latest version.

A.

For purposes of design, wind pressure for all signs shall be twenty pounds per square foot, and for all roof signs and open-frame signs, thirty pounds per square foot. The area of an open-frame sign, for the purposes of this section, shall be the net area of framing members exposed to the wind. Vertical design loads, except for roof live loads, shall be assumed to be acting simultaneously with wind loads.

B.

Notwithstanding subsection A. above, portable signs shall be so designed and/or weighted as necessary to resist tip-over under wind gusts and continuous wind load.
