ASCE 7-10 Fig 27.4-7
(OP)
What does "All Shapes" refer to in the Roof Angle column on the table?
My roof angle is less than 45 degrees degrees, but it doesn't make sense to me to only have positive wind pressures across all of the roof. Any idea how to interpret this table?

RE: ASCE 7-10 Fig 27.4-7
The figure also applies to only roofs with Θ <= 45 degrees.
The "All Shapes" and the Θ <= 45 is again included in the table itself to reinforce the limitations on the numbers and use of the table.
In my view, there probably should not have been a horizontal line below the "All Shapes".
So for any of the three roof shapes, you would have a Case A and a Case B wind arrangement that you would include in your design, either primarily upward (Case A) or downward (Case B).
