Determine the design snow loads for the roof of the gabled frame of an apartment building shown in Fig. 2.13(a). The building is located in Chicago, Illinois, where the ground snow load is 25 psf. Because of several trees near the structure,assume the exposure factor is Ce =1.
Determine the external wind pressure on the roof of the rigid-gabled frame of a building for an essential disaster operation center shown in Fig. P2.14. The building is located in Kansas City, Missouri, where the terrain is representative of exposure C, and the basic wind speed for risk category IV buildings is 120 mph. Assume the wind direction is normal to the ridge, as shown in the figure.
