Snow and Rain Load Calculations - NBC 2020

This document provides calculations for snow load and snow drift on a single bungalow roof. It includes the geometry of the building, design criteria, and calculations for basic snow load and snow drift load according to various sections of engineering standards. The basic snow load is determined to be 1.86 kPa, which governs over the rain load. The snow drift load is calculated to be 0.00 kPa.
