Notes:
1. Vertical scale denotes GCP to be used with qh.
2. Horizontal scale denotes effective wind area, in square meters.
3. Plus and minus signs signify pressures acting toward and away from the
surfaces, respectively.
4. Each component shall be designed for maximum positive and negative
pressures.
5. If a parapet equal to or higher than 0.9 m is provided around the perimeter of
the roof with θ ≤ 70, the negative values of GCp in Zone 3 shall be equal to
those for Zone 2 and positive values of GCP in Zones 2 and 4 shall be set
equal to those for wall Zones 4 and 5 respectively in Figure 6.2.11(a).
6. Values of GCP for roof overhangs include pressure contributions from both
upper and lower surfaces.
7. Notation:
a: 10 percent of least horizontal dimension or 0.4h, whichever is smaller, but
not less than either 4% of least horizontal dimension or 0.9 m.
h: Eave height shall be used for θ ≤ 100.
