Hi all, I have a question on how to calculate the components and cladding wind loads for a overhang on a monoslope roof? ASCE 7-10 has CGp values for overhangs for gable roofs on Figures 30.4-2BA through 30.4-2C but does not have figures for any other types of roofs. Can anyone give me any input as to how calculate these wind loads?

I have the same question. I plan to use the gable roof loads corresponding to the roof slope I have, and then will increase loads by the ratio of the main roof monoslope wind loads to the main roof gable wind loads.
 
RPMG, would this apply if you're calculating based on Part 1 (30.4-1)? I normally use Part 1 to find the wind pressures for the walls and roof, but I can't seem to find any clear instruction on finding overhang pressures within Part 1. I know 30.7-1 has a table for monoslope/flat but Part 1 doesn't. Can I find roof/wall with Part 1 instruction and THEN use 30.7-1 as well?
