Unbraced, mid-span, and third point bracing<br />

L/240 for total load<br />

LRFD loads and load combinations<br />

Bending, shear, combined bending and shear, combined<br />

bending and web crippling<br />

3-1/2” at ends and at interior supports<br />

Rafters<br />

• Rafter Spacing: 16” and 24”<br />

• Ground Snow Loads: 20 psf, 30 psf, 50 psf, and 70 psf<br />

• Wind Speeds:<br />

Same as wall studs wind speeds<br />

• Seismic Design Categories: A, B, and C<br />

• Spans:<br />

Single and two-equal spans<br />

• Joist Size Range: 550S162-33 through 1200S162-97<br />

• Roof Dead Load:<br />

12 psf<br />

• Yield Strength:<br />

33 ksi steel<br />

• Roof Pitch: 3:12 to 12:12<br />

• Deflection Criteria:<br />

L/240 for live load and L/180 for total load<br />

• Snow Load =<br />

0.7 x ground snow load (16 psf minimum)<br />

• Basic Load Combinations: LRFD loads and load combinations<br />

• Bracing:<br />

Mid-span bracing<br />

• Other Assumptions:<br />

• Rafter spans are designed based primarily on gravity loads; hence the rafter spans are<br />

reported on the horizontal projection of the rafter, regardless of the slope. The gravity<br />

loads consist of a roof dead load and the greater of a minimum 16-psf live load or the<br />

applied roof snow load.<br />

• Wind load effects are correlated to equivalent snow loads. Wind pressures were<br />

calculated using the ASCE 7-98 Components and Cladding pressure coefficients.<br />

Wind loads acting perpendicular to the plane of the rafter were adjusted to represent<br />

loads acting orthogonal to the horizontal projection of the rafter. Wind loads were<br />

examined for both uplift and downward loads and the worst case was correlated to a<br />

corresponding snow load.<br />

• The roof system must consist of both ceiling joists (i.e. acting as rafter ties) and rafters.<br />

• Rafters are simply supported beams.<br />

Summarized in Table A5.2 are the loads and other design assumptions used in developing<br />

the Prescriptive Method.
