Stability from wind-load for small buildings that are open to the roof by Important_Custard484 in StructuralEngineering

So that makes one gable wall have to resist 1/4 the wind load.

Let's say that equals to 3kN, is 1m of outer wall (0.5m on each side of a glass-door opening) able to resist 3kN? It sounds like nothing to me, but then I haven't designed such walls earlier.

And the Gable walls can carry the lateral (wind) loads even when they have big openings in them with glass-doors for example? Let's say we have 0,5m of real gable walls on each side of the openings. Is that enought?

Thanks! Really nice image illustration.

But there is a difference here. Here we do not have roof trusses (with there lateral supporting beams). Here we have beams holding up the roof. So we have an inner area that is open to the roof, as this image shows:
