The document calculates wind loads on a curved shade structure based on wind speed data and coefficients from CP3. It determines a basic wind speed of 45 m/s, then calculates a design wind speed of 27 m/s accounting for topography, ground roughness, and statistical factors. It finds maximum and minimum wind pressure coefficients of +0.3 and -0.6. The downward and uplift design wind pressures are 0.134 kN/m^2 and 0.268 kN/m^2. Finally, it calculates the uniform downward and uplift loads on each frame as 0.184 kN/m and 0.368 kN/m, defining two load cases.
