Design Loads for Roof Trusses

1. DEAD LOADS(DL)
Service dead Loads=0.75kN/m2
a. Sheeting Cover : 0.15
b. Suspended Ceiling : 0.20
c. Services : 0.25
TOTAL : 0.60 ( 0.15 kN/m2 over load )

2. LIVE LOADS(LL)
Inclined Roof: angle <30
LL= 1.00 kN/m2 ( if we use 0.25 kN/m2 service load and 0.50 Kn/m2 snow
load on top of roof simultaneously I don’t think we should activate Live Load
additionaly, In my opinion LL=1.00 KN/m2 is overload again. Because there is
no pedestrian traffic at top of the roof )

3. SNOW LOADS(SL)
for Duhok City, average Height Above Sea level = 565m
SL= 0.50 kN/m2

4. RAIN LOADS(RL)
Gutter Plate dimensions = (500mm X 500mm X 200mm =>L=1200mm)
İt’s full capacity = 0.5x0.5x0.2=0.05m3
İn water weight =10kN/m3 X 0.05=0.50 kN/m2

5. WIND LOADS(WL)
Design wind speed WL = 36 m/s (129.6 km/h)

6. SEISMIC LOADS
ASCE 10-97 DESIGN CODE
SS = the mapped MCE spectral response acceleration at short periods = 0.7
S1= the mapped MCE spectral response acceleration at a period of 1 s = 0.2

7. TEMPRATURE LOADS(TL)
TL=20 DEGREE
