Section VIII Div 2 User's Design Spec

Section VIII Div 2 User's Design Spec

Section VIII Div 2 User's Design Spec

(OP)
I've spent some time with the search function and just can't seem to find what I am looking for - and please forgive me as I've not done any ASME work in my career and am learning.  I have Megyesy's PV handbook though!

Division 2 states that the User's Design spec shall contain loadings Per AD-110.  Originally, I was told there was an external pressure of 11.0 KSF.  I am now being told that I should assume this value to be the external loadings and can then calculate the AD-110(e) reactions at supports (saddles in my case).  My customer has soil, snow and potentially traffic loads.  How do I express this AD-110(e) item?
For the record, we're trying to put potential customer info into Div 2 format and I'm lost.  Thank you in advance,
Emil
