I am trying to obtain C&C wind pressures using ASCE 7-05 for a hipped roof structure > 27 degree. It appears that ASCE does not have such provision. Both Method 1 and 2 for hipped roof are limited to roof slope < 27 degree. Could you please shed some lights into this?
the structure is less than 60' and it is a rectangular shape (regular shape) wood structure.

Thank you.

If there is no code covering, I think it is reasonale to generate your own cases using the known cases as guide, and design per worst case scenario. Before doing that, make sure you have made effort to perform thorough search, have you GOOGLE lately?
