1965 Snow Loads. The ground snow load, Pg, to be used in the determination of design snow loads
1966 for buildings and other structures shall be determined by using the following formula: Pg = (Po2
1967 + S2(A-Ao)2)0.5 for A greater than Ao, and Pg = Po for A less than or equal to Ao.
1968 WHERE:
1969 Pg = Ground snow load at a given elevation (psf);
1970 Po = Base ground snow load (psf) from Table No. R301.2(5a);
1971 S = Change in ground snow load with elevation (psf/100 ft.) From Table No. R301.2(5a);
1972 A = Elevation above sea level at the site (ft./1,000);
1973 Ao = Base ground snow elevation from Table R301.2(5a) (ft./1,000).
1974 The building official may round the roof snow load to the nearest 5 psf. The ground snow
1975 load, Pg, may be adjusted by the building official when a licensed engineer or architect submits
1976 data substantiating the adjustments. A record of such action together with the substantiating
1977 data shall be provided to the division for a permanent record.
1978 The building official may also directly adopt roof snow loads in accordance with Table
1979 R301.2(5b), provided the site is no more than 100 ft. higher than the listed elevation.
1980 Where the minimum roof live load in accordance with Table R301.6 is greater than the design
1981 roof snow load, such roof live load shall be used for design, however, it shall not be reduced to
1982 a load lower than the design roof snow load. Drifting need not be considered for roof snow
1983 loads less than 20 psf."
