ASCE 7-10 Snow Loads

Snow Loads: Guide to the Snow Load Provisions of ASCE 7-10 provides a detailed and authoritative interpretation of the snow load provisions of Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, Standard ASCE/SEI 7-10. With clear, concise language, Snow Loads illustrates the key concepts and guides for applying the provisions to the design of new and existing structures that could collect falling or drifting snow.

New material includes design examples for leeward drift and sliding loads on adjacent structures and an improved discussion of bays susceptible to ponding loads. The Frequently Asked Questions chapter contains six new discussions.
