In the solution to part (B) of this problem, next to the calculation of the effective area for the parapet, the text reads: " <10 ft OK. " In the next couple of lines there is a note stating: "Note: Effective area for roof could be taken as more than 10 ft^2".
Does anyone know where the 10 ft^2 number comes from? I have looked in ASCE-7 and IBC 2006, but I haven't had any luck finding the reason for the check against 10 ft^2. It seems I must be missing something...
Any help is appreciated!
