Wind pressure depends on location, terrain and building geometry.
SARENTA · STRUCTURAL INPUTS
Clear-span structure span, wind and foundation planning.
A 40 m span is not one structural problem. Wind, height, enclosure, openings, terrain, snow/seismic criteria and foundation conditions all change the reactions.
SHORT ANSWER
Use project design criteria to qualify the exact structure and reactions.
Provide span, height, enclosure, location and local design criteria before final structural selection. The selected system should then produce project calculations, drawings and support/anchor reactions for local foundation design.
KEY PROJECT POINTS
What should drive the decision.
These are project inputs, not substitute engineering or automatic product approvals.
Enclosed structures can have different internal-pressure effects from open covers.
Snow and seismic requirements vary by destination.
Height can be as influential as span.
Anchoring/foundation reactions depend on the actual frame and envelope.
Ground/geotechnical conditions remain local inputs.
Define the design criteria
Project engineers should state relevant wind, snow, seismic and other structural criteria for the destination.
Keep configuration fixed during calculation
Changing doors, wall enclosure, height or span after structural design can invalidate earlier reactions.
Issue support reactions
The structure supplier should provide exact support/anchor loads for the local foundation engineer.
Coordinate erection conditions
Temporary stability, lifting and erection sequence should be planned separately from final in-service design.
PROJECT INPUTS
What to have ready before asking for the exact system.
A stronger brief shortens the gap between product interest and a useful technical/commercial response.

EVIDENCE BOUNDARY
Published span capability is not project engineering.
Exact calculations, drawings, connections and reactions should be produced for the selected SARENTA configuration and design criteria, then coordinated with local foundations and approvals.
FAQ
Questions project teams usually need answered.
Can a published 60 m span be used anywhere?
No. Span capability depends on the exact system, geometry and project design criteria.
Who designs the foundations?
The local project engineer should use exact structure reactions to design foundations for the site unless another scope is expressly agreed.
Do open-sided covers have lower wind loads?
Not necessarily; open and enclosed structures behave differently and need proper engineering.
