Snow Loads: Guide to the Snow Load Provisions of ASCE 7-05 provides a detailed, authoritative interpretation of the snow load provisions of MInimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, Standard ASCE/SEI 7-05. This edition, updated to correspond to the new edition of ASCE 7, includes examples of flat roof loads, sloped roof loads, partials loads, and all types of conventional drift loading. A new chapter offers three complete design examples: a metal building with a roof step, a pole barn with a hip roof, and a single-family residence with attached, two-car garage. Recent changes to the provisions for unbalanced loads and rain-on-snow surcharge loads are explained. Several example problems have been updated and two fresh examples added. The revised and expanded Frequently Asked Questions chapter addresses common snow loading cases not explicitly covered in ASCE/SEI Standard 7-05. As the only book devoted to the illustration, interpretation, and application of the snow load provisions of ASCE/SEI Standard 7-05, Snow Loads is an essential reference for structural engineers, architectects, and construction professionals working in areas where snow loading is a design consideration.

This guide provides practicing structural engineers with a detailed description of the snow load provisions of ASCE/SEI Standard 7-05, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, published by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). The intent of this guide is to present the research and philosophy that underpins the provisions and to illustrate the application of the provisions through numerous examples. Readers and users of this guide will know how to use the provisions and also know the reasoning behind the provisions. In this fashion, users may be able to address nonroutine snow loading issues that are not explicitly covered in ASCE 7-05. Every effort has been made to make the illustrative example problems in this guide correct and accurate. The author welcomes comments regarding inaccuracies, errors, or different interpretations. The views expressed and the interpretation of the snow load provisions made in this guide are those of the author and not of the ASCE 7 Standards Committee
or the ASCE organization.
