Fourth Load Case (Steeple 4)
The fourth load case is created for the maximum unbalanced wind load. This load is based on
wind that is perpendicular to the ridge. The +1400 and -1000 point loads are from the previous
load cases and they are applied to complete the unbalanced load for the steeple. Refer to the
previous steps on how to add point loads for this load case. An example of load case 4 is shown
below.
Fifth Load Case (Steeple 5)
The fifth load case is the exact load as number 4 except for reversed. The point loads and the
wind uplift are flipped. This is done to create the unbalanced load for the opposite side of the
truss from load case 4. Refer to the previous steps on how to add point loads for this situation.
An example of load case number five is shown below.
