Snow Drift - Parapet - Corner of Roof
Snow Drift - Parapet - Corner of Roof
(OP)
I'm designing a building in Aurora, CO that will have 10'-0" tall parapets. The building is rectangular 77'x180'. My question is how should the snow drift at the corners of the building be calculated? Should I simply sum the North/South drift and West/East drifts together while using the maximum drift width given by ASCE 7?
Thanks.
Thanks.
