I think this may have been answered before, but it did not turn up in a search... at least my search :)

Under this table, where are Load Cases A and B defined?

RE: ASCE7-05 Figure 6-18A

I don't know how much background or information you need. Footnote 5 says "All load cases shown for each roof angle shall be investigated."

RE: ASCE7-05 Figure 6-18A

Load case A and B represent two different possiblities for the values of CN. They don't really correspond to a physical meaning.

msquared,

If you get too flummoxed by the issue you could google up site of one of that section's authors, Prof. Rube Goldberg. I believe he has drawn up some schematic flowcharts to help users navigate through it.

Thanks. I'll check it out. I'll try not to be so flummoxed in the future here... :)
