(OP)
Im looking for a free version of this document: Roof Curb Design: For Compliance with Building Code Seismic and Wind Load Requirements by PJ Selman. Anyone know where I can find a copy? Thanks
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: ASCE document
You might contact thybar.com as they might have promotional copies of the publication (Selman is/was their engineer.)

In a google search this was the only thing I turned up that may be relevant: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjatsqBhs7NAhUKdT4KHbxHABoQFggiMAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsweets.construction.com%2Fswts_content_files%2F653%2F706240.pdf&usg=AFQjCNEB0GCBAqMfMu0-e1JSxG_8Ny9ugQ&sig2=hontLkYbEq2fVbTjFhDPrA
No idea if it's the same or similar material to the ASCE text but it can't hurt.

Sometimes its cost efficient to get a "library card"......that is, if you know you are going to have to buy multiple documents.
I was researching something in their journals once and I bought that. I don't think it applies to codes/standards however.

Considering Curbs
RE: ASCE document
guessing that your project is in California from other posts, it is my understanding that California references ASCE 7-10 which has added a significant wind load requirements beyond 7-05. You might be surprised at how often wind load trumps seismic in California. ASCE 7-10 provides a reasonably clear guide to development of forces.
RE: ASCE document
They changed the wind speeds to be an ultimate condition and included the importance factor in the maps but the basic surface coefficient tables are essentially the same - so the safety factor was just moved is all.

RE: ASCE document
yea, the ASD to ultimate... yep, but for this specific condition, 7-10 added that uplift requirement, which was nebulously referenced in the 7-05 commentary.
RE: ASCE document
7-05 to 7-10 uplift comparison attached
RE: ASCE document
Appreciate the info on that added uplift.
