Snow drift displacement
Snow drift displacement
(OP)
Any concerns with building up a triangular obstuction on a roof adjacent to a higher roof or parapet to displace the code required snow drift load?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

In situations like this, I have superimposed the drift load on the slope.
Might be a more of a matter of interpretation of the code than it is a fact.

Keep in mind, snow can easily build up on the leeward side of a low-pitched gable roof as in unbalanced snow loads.

Michael.
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

I myself, have a had a few occasions where I had one building with a shed roof abutting a higher building on a gable end. The lower shed had a slope but I guess I felt it was not effective in eliminating the drift in my case.
I suppose in your case, you have essentially eliminated "Pd" in figure 7-8.
Sorry to waste your time.
