Gable Roof Load Calculations Guide
Gable Roof Load Calculations Guide
INTRODUCTION
For the design of the gable roof, two types of structures will be analyzed, which will have a
profile suitable for both dead and live loads.
Dead Weight:
It is the weight of the materials, service devices, equipment, partitions, and other elements
supported by the building, including its own weight, which are proposed to be permanent.
The actual weight of the materials that make up and that it must support will be considered.
buildings calculated based on unit weights, using lower unit weights if necessary
when duly justified. The actual weight can be determined through analysis or
using the data indicated in the designs and manufacturers' catalogs
Live Load:
It is the weight of all occupants, materials, equipment, furniture, and other movable elements.

For roofs with an inclination greater than 3º, 100 kg/m2reduced by 5 kg/m2for each
slope degree above 3º, up to a minimum of 30 kg/m2.
For roofs with lightweight coverings of asbestos-cement, corrugated sheet, fiber cement or fabric and
for awnings and canopies, regardless of their slope, 30 kg/m2, except when they can
There will be snow accumulation, in which case the load will be established by the designer.
LOAD CALCULATION
Before calculating the weights, we must first determine the type of roof and the dimensions.
what we are going to consider in our calculation, for this we refer to the ETERNIT page for
to be able to determine what we need.
According to our selection, we will choose corrugated sheets in 50 wave. Their uses are
for: Housing, Warehouses, Industrial Buildings, etc.

SNOW LOAD
GENERALITIES
The structure and all roof elements that are exposed to the action of snow load,
they will be designed to withstand the loads produced by the possible accumulation of snow on the
roof. The snow load on a covered surface is the weight of the snow that, in the
more unfavorable weather conditions can accumulate on it.
In areas where there is a possibility of significant snowfall, special attention must be paid.
pay attention to the appropriate selection of roof slopes. The snow load must
to be considered as live load. It will not be necessary to include the simultaneous effect in the design of
wind and snow load.
To determine this value, geographical and climatic conditions must be taken into account.
the region where the structure will be located. The basic load will be established from a statistical analysis
from the available information in the area, for a mean return period of 50 years
(annual probability of 2% of being exceeded).
The minimum value of the basic snow load on the ground (Qs) will be
0.40 kPa (40 kgf/m2) which is equivalent to 0.40 m of fresh snow (specific weight
from 1 kN/m3 (100 kgf/m3) to 0.20 m of compacted snow (specific weight of
2 kN/m3 (200 kgf/m3).
a) For roofs with one or two slopes with inclinations of 15º or less (slope 27%) and
for curved roofs with a span/rise ratio 0.1 or a vertical angle less than or equal to 10º
(calculated from the edge to the center) the design load (Qt), on the projection
horizontal, will be:
Qt = Qs
b) For roofs with one or two slopes with inclinations between 15º
and at 30º the design load (Qt), over the horizontal projection, will be:
Qt = 0.80 Qs
c) For roofs with one or two slopes with inclinations greater than 30º, the load
of design (Qt), on the horizontal projection, will be: 15
