Specified Loads Ground Floor Roof


Dead 4.77 kPa 3.41 kPa
Live 7.2 kPa 1.0 kPa
Snow n.a. 1.29 kPa
Wind n.a. -0.837 kPa

Load Combinations Ground Floor Roof


1.4D (1.4)(4.77) = 6.68 kPa (1.4)(3.41) = 4.77 kPa
1.25D+1.5L+0.5S or 0.4W (1.25)(4.77)+(1.5)(7.2) = 16.8 kPa not governing
1.25D+1.5S+0.5L or 0.4W not governing (1.25)(3.41)+(1.5)(1.29) = 6.20 kPa
0.9D+1.4W not governing (0.9)(3.41)+(1.4)(-0.837) = 1.90 kPa
Factored Loads 16.8 kPa 6.20 kPa
