Snow Loads: A Guide to the Use and Understanding of the Snow Load provisions of ASCE 7-02 is the only book that provides a detailed, authoritative interpretation of the snow load provisions of Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, Standard ASCE 7-02. This guide includes examples of flat roof loads, sloped roof loads, and partial loads, as well as all types of conventional drift loading. More than 70 figures and tables clearly illustrate snow load scenarios, and each chapter contains worked examples that help engineers apply difficult snow load concepts. A section of frequently asked questions addresses the correct implementation of the provisions of ASCE 7-02, such as unique snow loading cases and ways to mitigate drift loads on existing roofs as a result of new additions. This book is an essential supplement to Standard ASCE 7-02 for all engineers, architects, and construction professionals who work on projects in areas where roof snow loading must be considered.

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.
