Question: Snow Procedure per ASCE 7 - 1 6 : Show all calculations and free body diagrams. Determine the ground snow load for the geographic location

Snow Procedure per ASCE 7-16: Show all calculations and free body diagrams.
Determine the ground snow load for the geographic location (Sections 7.2 and C7.2).(5pts)
Generate a flat roof snow load from the ground load with consideration given to (1) roof exposure (Sections 7.3.1, C7.3, and C7.3.1); (2) roof thermal condition (Sections 7.3.2, C7.3, and C7.3.2); and (3) occupancy and function of structure (Sections 7.3.3 and C7.3.3). Assume the structure remains above freezing temperatures. The structure is residential. The structure is sheltered by forest around the perimeter. (5pts)
Consider roof slope (Sections 7.4 through 7.4.5 and C7.4). See building data. (5pts)Consider snow drifts: (1) on lower roofs (Sections 7.7 through 7.7.2 and C7.7) and (2) from projections (Sections 7.8 and C7.8).(15pts)
Consider sliding snow (Sections 7.9 and C7.9).(5pts)
Consider extra loads from rain on snow (Sections 7.10 and C7.10).(5pts)
Draw the typical interior roof beam (high and low roofs) on free body diagrams (FBD) and indicate the design factored loads. Assume the roof dead load is 10pf, roof live load is 20psf(not reducible), and the mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) loads are 5 psf. Define the loads in lbft. No need to run analysis. Use strength design load combinations. Assume the wind suction is 13 psf for the high roof and 12 psf for the low roof. The wind loads are perpendicular to the roof surfaces. Use only combinations combining the loads noted above. Other combinations are necessary but NOT required at this time. (15pts)
