    Uploaded by

    Ali Al-Basha
    1. The document contains wind and snow load calculations for a building in Denver, Colorado according to the 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC97). 2. For wind loads, the basic wind speed is 85 mph and the design pressure is calculated to be 11.63 psf. Pressure coefficients and distributed loads are provided for different building surfaces and wind directions. 3. For snow loads, the ground snow load is adjusted to 25 psf to meet city requirements. Balanced and unbalanced snow loads are calculated for different roof surfaces. 4. Load combinations are listed according to UBC97, including combinations involving dead, live, wind, snow, and earthquake loads.
