ASCE 7-05 Wind Code Method 1
ASCE 7-05 Wind Code Method 1
(OP)
I am having trouble understanding which way the force is acting. There is a clause that states, "plus and minus signs signify pressures acting toward and way from the projected surfaces, respectively;" however the horizontal and vertical forces on a windward roof stay negative until the slope reaches like 25 degrees (transverse in figure). Also, the arrows in figure 6-2 are shown going in both directions.
This seems completely counterintuitive with a roof nose-down into the wind. Can someone please help me?
Thank you so much in advance!

Also, I stated the pos/neg toward/away clause, I was asking about the arrows pointing to and away in some, but not all, of the zones.
