Client commented to design the saddle support to resist a blast load of 35 KPa. I checked over the internet how to deal with. Somewhere i found that this can be added as wind pressure. I performed this calculations in Pv Elite and I found the stresses 2 times the allowable. We already constucted the saddle. Can anybody provide me guidance whether my procedure is right.

What allowable are you using ? Is it appropriate to results from a blast analysis ?
