| Application | Application 1: Slope factor for calculating the specified snow load
on unobstructed slippery sloped areas of roofs and other building surfaces
subject to snow accumulation. This applies to buildings described in Sentence 1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A and
to buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application of Part 9] that are required
to be designed in accordance with the requirements of Part 4.
Exceptions:
except as stated in Sentence 4.1.6.2.(7), which specifies
a slope factor of 1.0 when used in conjunction with shape factors for increased
snow loads as given in:

| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that the slope factor will not
take into account the site conditions affecting the maximum expected accumulation
of snow on unobstructed slippery sloped roofs, which could lead to structural
failure, which could lead to harm to persons. |
