Determine the factored (design) load of a roof system, in lb/ft2, based on allowable stress design under the requirements of the Uniform Building Code (UBC). The roof system is supporting the following uniformly distributed loads. Assume that the building is in an area with no seismic activity (Eload = 0) and that there are no additional loads on the roof (i.e., movable signs, cranes, etc.).

Service dead load of 35 lb/ft2

Service roof load of 20 lb/ft2

Snow load of 30 lb/ft2

Rain/ice load (6 in of ponding water)

Wind load of 15 lb/ft2 acting downward
