Problem 3: Snow Load Calculation (25 pts)
Using the NBC 2020, the snow load calculation videos, and Tutorial 6:
a) Determine the snow load (in kPa) for a building of normal risk category in Sault Ste. Marie, ON, with a flat, non-slippery roof measuring \(40\mathrm{~m}\times 40\mathrm{~m}\), with no obstructions. The building is. considered to be in an exposed area in a rural zone.
b) Find the snow load distribution (in kPa) on the lower roof of the office building shown in Figure 3, located in Sault Ste. Marie, ON. The building can be considered under "sheltered" conditions.
c) How will the snow distribution in question \(2 b \) be affected if the building is now in exposed conditions? Explain by showing the snow distribution for this case.
