I am having trouble understanding the ASCE 7-16 Figure 7.13-2b figures for determining snow loads on a Pipe.

Could somebody walk me through this? (e.g., Pf = 80 psf, D = 10in, angle = 70°)

I can understand figure 7.13-2a but i have not understand what if D>0.73Pf/gamma???

What would the equation be for Qs if D > .73pf/gamma ??? (Trapezoidal snow load??)
