Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Snow Loads: Guide to the Snow Load Provisions of ASCE 7-22 supplies detailed, authoritative explanations of the snow load provisions contained in Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures, Standard ASCE/SEI 7-22. Author Michael O'Rourke illustrates the key concepts for applying the provisions to the design of new and existing structures that could collect falling or drifting snow.

Like its predecessors that accompanied earlier versions of ASCE 7, this new edition of Snow Loads discusses ground, flat roof, and sloped roof snow loads; partial loads; unbalanced loads; drift on lower roofs; roof projections; sliding snow loads; rain-on-snow surcharge; and ponding instability and existing roofs. Driven by recent changes to the ASCE 7 snow load provisions, this guide also describes

• Significant changes to the ground snow loads and drift load provisions of ASCE 7-22,
• Open framed equipment support structures, and
• Snow loads for solar paneled roofs.

This guide includes worked examples of real-life design problems, as well as answers to frequently asked questions. Snow Loads is an essential supplement to ASCE 7-22 for all engineers, architects, construction professionals, and building officials who work on projects in regions subject to snow.
