3. from Eave to Ridge, W: ft. Horizontal Distance from Eave to Ridge: Type of Roof Wind Drift Load Combinations. 2. Having calculated the uniform snow load, designers should consider whether there is a risk of snow drift due to the presence of parapets or other Specifically, they recommended that the size (cross-sectional area) of the drift surcharge be a function of the ground snow load and the upwind fetch (as is currently), as well as a winter wind parameter. Concerning snow drifting, O’Rourke and Cocca (2018) developed parameters to quantify the influence of wind. The total snow load is the balanced load of 14 psf plus the drift surcharge of 68.4 psf or 82.4 psf. G-5) Snow Drift Load (Obstruction) — (Fig. G-8). The drift on the downwind side is a somewhat reduced leeward drift composed of snow originally on the roof upwind of the RTU plus a small contribution from snow originally on top of the RTU itself. Load) 19 Parapet Wall Drifts By their nature, Parapet Wall Drifts are Windward since they form upwind of the wall/step Fetch is along wind length of roof 20. Figure 1, taken from the National Building Code 1960, shows the variations across Canada of snow loads on the ground. Leave the X and Y coordinates at the default. 3. Building Component.

Schaerer. G-8) Wind. Wind drift can be check as per load combinations specified in the ASCE7-10 commentary (CC-3) as: 1.0D + 0.5L + 0.7W. 1. Last, calculate the snow drift surcharge load: To find the maximum surcharge load, multiply the drift height by the snow density: \({p}_{d} = {h}_{d}{γ}\) In our case, \({p}_{d} = (2.1 ft)*(17.9 pcf)\) \({p}_{d} = 37.6 psf\) The maximum snow drift surcharge load is then superimposed on the balanced snow load: \({p}_{max} = {p}_{d}+{p}_{s}\) Superpose the drift load on the base snow load. Materials. The drift on the upwind side of rooftop units (RTUs) is a windward drift as it is for parapet walls. It is a required parameter for defining global snow and wind coefficients of a … Parapets on Upper Roof May be Used to Reduce Step Loads– The effect of a parapet on the upper roof is to provide a location for trapping some of the drifting snow on the upper roof. level roofs, the accumulated drift load may reach a multiple of the ground load. See Section 7.9, ASCE 7. The maximum drift load is. Type VXin the Label edit box. Select Mode – Analysis – Load Cases. Length of Roof Downwind of the Snow Drift: Horiz. Seismic.

Some buildings, especially those with obstructions against which the snow could accumulate such as parapets or walls, should also be designed for snow drift loading. The Snow/Wind Load dialog has conditions for which snow/wind loads are generated: Envelope - Defines those structure elements for which snow and wind loads will be generated. Therefore, the ratio of roof live and dead and snow and dead are the same as the basic loads we used to H��W�r�H��!�v�Ԓ@zt���i�m���{ Height of parapet, h p: m Lower Roof geometry. Dist.

Specifically, they recommended that the size (cross-sectional area) of the drift surcharge be a function of the ground snow load and the upwind fetch (as is currently), as well as a winter wind parameter. Snow drift load is in a triangular shape with maxim load pd at edge between upper and lower roof and decrease to zero for a length W. The drift load shall be added to normal roof snow load.

Click [Add]and the Virtual Load Case Story Forces dialog box will open. Check for loads due to snow sliding from an upper roof. It is the building designer's responsibility to supply snow drift loading information. but it does not need to exceed 30 psf. Windward snow drifts are an important consideration for many roof geometrics, including roof steps, parapet walls, and various roof projections. 11 ... Current ASCE 7 drift function of fetch and ground snow load Physics based simulation suggests that In this area high uniform loads as well as high drift loads occur. snow load by the appropriate snow load shape coefficient (see section 5.3 of BS EN 1991-1-3 and Annex B of BS EN1991-1-3).
