SummarySummary Papers describing results are still in preparation. Results show for gable roofs ASCE 7 coefficients for
roofs are too low (not new). Use of gable loads for hip roofs with slopes > 30° will
underestimate loads. Simple improvement could be to use the Gable/Hip
10° < θ ≤ 30° for all hip roofs
38
Expanding the Realm of Possibility
SummarySummary Resistance to increase loads in ASCE 7 (even though
data shows code loads are too high) is because of shielding Work by Ho (1993) showed that neighboring
buildings decrease wind loads by ~25% New work shown here (based on the new 5:12 and
6:12 experiments) shows similar reductions EXCEPT near the high section gable ridge areas.
Perhaps could use this finding to force use of Exposure C for all roof C&C loads
