2Ps on roof overhangs?...

[McEngr]

There once was a provision to double the roof snow (or flat snow?) on roof overhangs. Can someone point me to the code section? It's been a while since someone pressed me on the issue. I believe it was fairly obvious in IBC 2006, but things change so much that I can't remember...

Possible that it's in ASCE 7, but I didn't want to waste too much time digging.

Thanks,

ASCE 7-10 section 7.4.5 - doesn't always apply of course...

7-05, section 7.4.5 deals with ice dams and increased snow loads on overhangs of warm roofs.

It is the same section in 7-10 per a recent check.

I see it gets ignored a lot in shop drawings from the truss plant.

And agreed, there are exceptions to it.

Always review the footnotes & exceptions...
