Notes:
1. Plus and minus signs signify pressures acting toward and away from the surfaces, respectively.
2. Linear interpolation is permitted for values of L/B, h/L and θ other than shown. Interpolation shall only be
carried out between values of the same sign. Where no value of the same sign is given, assume 0.0 for
interpolation purposes.
3. Where two values of Cp are listed, this indicates that the windward roof slope is subjected to either positive
or negative pressures and the roof structure shall be designed for both conditions. Interpolation for
intermediate ratios of h/L in this case shall only be carried out between Cp values of like sign.
4. For monoslope roofs, entire roof surface is either a windward or leeward surface.
5. For flexible buildings use appropriate Gf as determined by Section 26.9.4.
6. Refer to Figure 27.4-2 for domes and Figure 27.4-3 for arched roofs.
7. Notation:
B: Horizontal dimension of building, in feet (meter), measured normal to wind direction.
L: Horizontal dimension of building, in feet (meter), measured parallel to wind direction.
h: Mean roof height in feet (meters), except that eave height shall be used for θ ≤ 10 degrees.
z: Height above ground, in feet (meters).
G: Gust effect factor.
qz,qh: Velocity pressure, in pounds per square foot (N/m2), evaluated at respective height.
θ: Angle of plane of roof from horizontal, in degrees.
8. For mansard roofs, the top horizontal surface and leeward inclined surface shall be treated as leeward
surfaces from the table.
9. Except for MWFRS’s at the roof consisting of moment resisting frames, the total horizontal shear shall not
be less than that determined by neglecting wind forces on roof surfaces.
#For roof slopes greater than 80°, use Cp = 0.8
