Roof Slopes and Wind Speeds

[cucu101]

Greetings guys,

I was wondering, If I have a roof w/ multiples slopes (eg; 6/12; 4/12; 1/12), which slope will have a greater impact on my wind design( which one will control my wind design).
I would say the one with the lower slope will control for uplift, but, what can you all tell me from your experiences?

Thanks,
Cucu

SRE: Might go to 4:12 as min... 3:12 in some jurisdictions is considered as a low slope roof, and there may be other waterproofing or roofing requirements.
