Live And Dead Load For Residential Roofs

50 psf x 14ft 700 pounds per lineal foot.

Live and dead load for residential roofs.

With conventional clay tile roofing. 3 3 dead loads dead loads consist of the permanent construction material loads comprising the roof floor wall and foundation systems including claddings finishes and fixed equipment. The total dead plus live loads equal the gravity load of the structure. The values for dead loads in table 3 2 are for commonly used materials and constructions in light frame residential buildings.

910 pounds per lineal foot. It is important to list live load dead load and total load separately because live load is used to compute stiffness and total load is used to calculate strength. Natural and engineered wood rest relatively lightly on the foundation but support less live loads than steel and concrete. 15 psf x 14ft 210 pounds per lineal foot.

With tar and gravel. Structural steel offers much less of a dead load and provides superior support for live loads in multi story buildings. Light frame wood roof with wood structural panel sheathing and 1 2 inch gypsum board ceiling 2 psf with asphalt shingle roofing 3 psf 15 psf. These dynamic loads may involve considerations such as impact momentum vibration and etc.
