Wood Rafter Design Using WFCM

Wood Rafter Design Using WFCM

Wood Rafter Design Using WFCM

(OP)
I use the Wood Frame Construction Manual (WFCM) as a design resource when designing residential houses.  My question pertains to the rafter span tables.  How do these tables account for wind?  There are some span tables that include a ground snow load but none that include wind loads.  Thanks for any input.  

RE: Wood Rafter Design Using WFCM

go to the AFPA web site.  They have some new publications for use in high wind zones.
