0.4 m 60 m 15 m 40 m 55 m a) Determine the ULS uniformly distributed load 'S' (in kPa), snow load, needed to design the lower roof. Remember to check both the basic snow and the rain load. The building is 'normal importance in downtown Suffield with a flat roof plan of 60 m by 55 m Snow load (S) - N 4 kPa. b) Determine the ULS snow drift if that roof sits below a second building with a higher roof (see sketch). Calculate the Case I drift only. Draw a sketch to summarize your calculations. Drift peak- A kPa.
