Ponding analysis for wood roof trusses
Ponding analysis for wood roof trusses
(OP)
I have to do a ponding analysis for a low slope (<1/4" per ft) roof consisting of wood roof trusses. Does anyone know of any design guides or literature out there to help with this?

IBC has something on this too.. Can't remember just where.
IF the trusses become loaded for any length of time - then you must consider the creep characteristics of wood - which can eat up any slope or camber rather quickly.
