Structural

I am a little lost as to interpreting the load cases 1-4. I have calculated my GCp values...and then the associated positive and negative pressures, but I am afraid I am lost from there.

Can someone provide me with a good example that goes through the calculations of these 4 load cases and explains them in detail?

I am designing a 60' high, 70'Wx90'L concrete structure, monoslope roof, risk cat II, with precast double tee roof w/ 2" topping.

Thanks for your time.
