Found this site trying to find examples for asce 7 -05 hip roof greater than 27 degrees.

read this post thread507-165141 wanted to see if any further information out there? Thanks!


I am designing a wood frame structure, hip roof with 12:12 and 18:12 roof pitches. ASCE7-05 Figure 6-11c gives component and cladding external pressure coefficients for gable and hip roofs up to 27 degrees and Figure 6-11d for gable roofs between 27 and 45 degrees. I see nothing for hip roofs greater than 27 degrees. Can anyone offer any help? I have several study guides with example problems but no one addresses hip roofs with steep slopes.

Use the 27 to 45 gable roof coefficients, but apply your endzones along each ridge in your hip.
