    Minimum Snow Loads

    Thank you, Dozer. That's very helpful. And I couldn't agree more. The snow-load provisions in ASCE-7-98 are obtuse. A flow-chart with some algebra in the decision-nodes would eliminate misinterpretation... and would be simple enough to include as a figure in the IBC. Based on your...

    Minimum Snow Loads

    Thanks, Dozer. My understanding (which may be flawed) was that you DON'T apply the 0.7 multiplier when calculating MINIMUM Pf... assuming that the minimum applies. When the MINIMUM doesn't apply then, of course, Pf=Pg*Ce*Ct*I.

    Minimum Snow Loads

    There seem to be two conflicting interpretations out there regarding minimum snow loads as defined in ASCE-7-98. Pg = ground snow load Pf = flat roof snow load = Pg*I*Ce*Ct Ps = sloped roof snow load = Pf*Cs The "minimum" Pf is defined in ASCE-7-98 as: I*Pg when Pg is less...
