ASCE 05 fig.6-10 Just for Gable Roof

ASCE 05 fig.6-10 Just for Gable Roof

ASCE 05 fig.6-10 Just for Gable Roof

(OP)
Figure 6-10 a Main Wind Force Resisting System for Method 2 for Enclosed, Partially Enclosed Buildings explained the value of wind forces on each areas
but the figure shows a gable roof, is it ok if i also used it for monoslope roof?
and if is it ok to use it, what will be the adjustable factor that we need in order to come up to the exact value?

thank you very much

RE: ASCE 05 fig.6-10 Just for Gable Roof

Yes, you should be able to use Fig 6-10 with a monoslope building. Treat the entire roof surface as either a windward or leeward slope.  Note footnote 8 on the figure that allows you to reduce the upward wind load for the portion of the roof away from the windward wall.
