Snow Load
To determine Ground Snow Load:
Multiply the elevation by the Contour Interval from the map available below.
To determine Roof Snow Loads:
Multiply the elevation by the Contour Interval from the map available below and then multiply that product by 80%.
**Roof is 20% of Ground Snow Load
Ex. 2500 x .025 x .80 = 50lb snow load
- Wind level---90 miles per hour
- Seismic Category---Site Class B
- Frost Depth---32"
