  38. Summary • Papers describing results are still in preparation. • Results show for gable roofs ASCE 7 coefficients for roofs are too low (not new). • Use of gable loads for hip roofs with slopes > 30° will underestimate loads. • Simple improvement could be to use the Gable/Hip 10° < θ≤ 30° for all hip roofs

  39. Summary • Resistance to increase loads in ASCE 7 (even though data shows code loads are too high) is because of shielding • Work by Ho (1993) showed that neighboring buildings decrease wind loads by ~25% • New work shown here (based on the new 5:12 and 6:12 experiments) shows similar reductions EXCEPT near the high section gable ridge areas. • Perhaps could use this finding to force use of Exposure C for all roof C&C loads
