Anyone have any information as to what the UBC would have shown for required roof live loads back in 1955? Probably would be under the 1952 UBC...

As EOR's we should take the responsibility to design our structures to support the components we allow in our design per that industry standards.

The cities ones are probably based on snow loads. The others are based on roof live load.
On page 1-13 of the book it shows a map of the USA with the snow loads very similar to the snow maps in the IBC and ASCE 7-05 that is from the American Standards Building Code Requirements for Minimum Design Loads in Buildings and Other Structures, A58 1-1955 by the American Standards Association. Except that it is based on a 1 year in 10. But is does not have any snow loads for about half the western USA, mainly the mountain areas.
