Snow Loading is a frequent and costly cause of structural
performance failures. In fact, snow is the controlling roof load in
half of US States. As a structural engineer, you must be familiar
with snow loads. This book will provide you with the tools you need
to understand and compensate for snow loads in structural design.
""Snow Loads: A Guide to the Use and Understanding of the Snow Load
Provisions of ASCE 7-02"" is the only book of its kind that
provides a detailed authoritative interpretation of snow load
provisions of ASCE Standard 7-02. Included are examples of flat
roof loads, sloped roof loads, partial loads, as well as all types
of conventional drift loading. Readers will benefit from the
frequently asked questions section, which addresses and
demonstrates the correct implementation of the provisions of ASCE
7-02, such as unique snow loading cases and ways to mitigate drift
loads on existing roofs due to new additions. This guide is
essential for practicing structural engineers. Twelve informative
chapters cover: Ground Snow Load, Flat Roof Snow Loads, Sloped Roof
Snow Load, Partial Loading, Unbalanced loads, Drifts on Lower
Roofs, Roof Projections, Sliding Snow Loads, Rain-on-Snow Surcharge
Loads, Ponding Instability and Existing Roofs, and Frequently Asked
Questions. Over 70 figures and tables clearly illustrate snow load
scenarios. In addition, each chapter contains numerous worked
examples that will aid you in understanding and applying difficult
wind loads concepts.
