Snow and Wind Loading on a Troughed Roof

Snow and Wind Loading on a Troughed Roof

Snow and Wind Loading on a Troughed Roof

(OP)
I have a troughed roof in which I was having trouble calculating applicable wind loads (C&C for uplift) and snow loading. Please see the pictures below:


Plan

Section

ASCE has wind design parameters explicitly defining wind loads on troughed roof, but applicable only to an open building. I was wondering if there was any guidance on which values/section of ASCE 7 would be most applicable to my building.

Same goes for snow loading, no explicit parameters for a troughed roof. I was thinking of maybe digging through the sawtooth roof section and if seeing this would be applicable to a troughed roof profile.

Any thoughts/guidance are appreciated in advance!

Thanks,
