I have a troughed roof in which I was having trouble calculating applicable wind loads (C&C for uplift) and snow loading. Please see the pictures below:
Plan
Section
ASCE has wind design parameters explicitly defining wind loads on troughed roof, but applicable only to an open building. I was wondering if there was any guidance on which values/section of ASCE 7 would be most applicable to my building.
Same goes for snow loading, no explicit parameters for a troughed roof. I was thinking of maybe digging through the sawtooth roof section and if seeing this would be applicable to a troughed roof profile.
Any thoughts/guidance are appreciated in advance!
Thanks,
