Notes:
1. CNW and CNL denote net pressures (contributions from top and bottom surfaces) for windward and leeward half of
roof surfaces, respectively.
2. Clear wind flow denotes relatively unobstructed wind flow with blocltage less than or equal t o 50%. Obstructed
wind flow denotes objects below roof inhibiting wind flow (>50% blocltage).
3. For values of 9 between 7.5' and 45", linear interpolation is permitted. For values of 9 less than 7.5", use
monoslope roof load coefficients.
4. Plus and minus signs signify pressures acting towards and away from the top roof surface, respectively.
5. All load cases shown for each roof angle shall be investigated.
6. Notation:
L : horizontal dimension of roof, measured in the along wind direction, ft. (m)
h : mean roof height, ft. (nl)
y
: direction of wind, degrees
9 : angle of plane of roof from horizontal, degrees

Notes:
1. CN denotes net pressures (contributions from top and bottom surfaces).
2. Clear wind flow denotes relatively unobstructed wind flow with blocltage less than or equal to 50%. Obstructed wind
flow denotes objects below roof inhibiting wind flow (>50% blocltage).
3. Plus and minus signs signify pressures acting towards and away from the top roof surface, respectively.
4. All load cases shown for each roof angle shall be investigated.
5. For monoslope roofs with theta less than 5 degrees, Cn values shown apply also for cases where ganlnla = 0 degrees and
0.05 less than or equal to WL less than or equal to 0.25. See Figure 6-18A for other WL values.
