Load Transfer

Note: For all snow load calculations we are assuming normal importance, flat roof, no drifts, not exposed

and roof sized so that $C_b=0\mathrm{.}80.$

Calculate the total factored uniformly distributed load $(k\frac{N}{m})$ and the specified SLS snow load $(k\frac{N}{m})$

for all interior and exterior joists for the roof of the following commercial building to be built in Saint$-$John,

N$.$B with the following roof construction:

$3$ ply felt & gravel

$50$ mm rigid insulation

$18$ ga$.-38$ mm steel roof deck

Steel self$-$weight

M$.$E$.$F

Joists are $1800$ mm on centre

Draw the load diagram for each joist $($J$1,$ J$2,$ J$3$ & J$4).$ Use a straight edge.
