Load Calculation

The document summarizes the load calculation for a structure with a mean roof height of 14 feet. It identifies key parameters like a Risk Category of II, Soil Class of D, and zero roof slope. It then calculates the applicable dead, live, snow, and wind loads based on standards in ASCE 7-16. The snow load is found to be 15.12 psf for a flat roof and 15.12 psf for a sloped roof. The maximum drift snow load is determined to be 102.051 psf. The basic wind speed is 108 mph resulting in a velocity pressure of 20.8 psf.
