   How do you calculate snow load for a flat roof?

   • If your structure has a sloped or flat roof, you still need to calculate the flat roof snow load. After you obtain the roof slope factor from those sections in ASCE 7-10, the balanced design snow load for the sloped roof can easily be calculated using equation 7.4-1. The balanced snow load is applied everywhere where the roof structure is located.

   • After you obtain the roof slope factor from those sections in ASCE 7-10, the balanced design snow load for the sloped roof can easily be calculated using equation 7.4-1. The balanced snow load is applied everywhere where the roof structure is located. This includes overhangs and multiple roof levels.

   How much snow is added to a roof?

   • The amount of additional snow load, or surcharge, depends on the difference in height of the two adjacent roofs and the lengths of roof perpendicular to the drop in height. See Section 7.7 and 7.8 for more information. Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures. (2013).

   How to calculate snow load?

   • You can also find the load per square meter or square foot of roofing by opening the advanced mode. If you want to calculate these values by hand, use the following formulas: The result - snow load, or the pressure exerted by the snow - has the units of kN/m² or lbs/ft². The weight of snow is measured in kg or lbs.

   How do I work up a snow load?

   • To work up a snow load, we use ASCE 7-16 to look up the appropriate ground snow load for the area and apply several adjustment factors to account for site exposure, roof insulation, roof slope, and other influences to produce the balanced snow load.

   What is a flat roof snow load?

   • The snow load that is applied to our structure is not the ground snow load, but in most cases, the flat roof snow load. Other considerations for sloped roofs can be found throughout Chapter 7 of ASCE 7-10. In our case, let’s assume that our structure has a flat roof (roof slope ≤ 5°). The flat roof snow load is calculated using formula 7.3-1:

   Dec 3, 2020 · Example. If you have 2 feet of settled snow, which has a density of 15.61 pounds per cubic foot, the formula for calculating the snow load is: Snow Load = Snow Density (15.61 lbs/ft³) × Depth of Snow (2 ft) The result is approximately 31.22 pounds per square foot of snow load on the roof.
