4.1.6.2.(8) | Application | Intent |

| Application | Application 1: Shape factor for calculating the specified snow load
on areas of roofs subject to snow accumulation.
Exceptions:
except as stated in Clauses 4.1.6.2.(8)(a) to 4.1.6.2.(8)(e), which apply to other areas of roofs where
increased and non-uniform snow accumulation occurs due to roof configuration.

| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that the shape factor will not
take into account the roof configuration affecting the maximum expected accumulation
of snow on roof areas, which could lead to the excessive deformation of, or
excessive stress in, structural elements, which could lead to damage to the
building. Intent 2: To limit the probability that the value of the shape factor
used for roof areas will be less than 1.0 where not warranted, which could
lead to the excessive deformation of, or excessive stress in, structural elements,
which could lead to damage to the building. |
