Wind Pressures on Low Slope Roofs (Updated 2005) This document provides a comprehensive and thorough understanding of the fundamentals of wind pressures on low-slope roofs, based on ASCE 7-98 – an absolute must for the roof designer. It contains numerous detailed illustrations and sample problems to explain the physics and mechanics of wind uplift loads. The reader will learn step-by-step procedures for proper calculations. Additionally, there is an appendix of easy-to-use load tables. The tables allow the reader to simply look up and select proper wind loads. Keep your knowledge current for the latest building codes; they have changed. The roof designer can not depend upon Factory Mutual alone for determining wind loads. With Wind Pressures on Low Slope Roofs, you can be assured of meeting today’s building codes. No roofing library is complete without this publication. A publication of the Roof Consultants Institute Foundation. Fully revised to reflect code changes in 2005, this publication was previosuly named Wind Loads on Low Slope Roofs. Authors: Stephen L.
