Ibc roof live loads.
Where flat roof snow loads exceed 30 psf 1 44 kn m 2 20 percent shall be combined with seismic loads.
Section or as set forth in table 1607 1.
Flat roof snow loads of 30 psf 1 44 kn m 2 or less and roof live loads of 30 psf 1 44 kn m 2 or less need not be combined with seismic loads.
For roofs this exception only applies when the metal sheets have no roof covering.
Prior to the 2012 ibc these roofs were designed for standard roof live loads or local ground snow loads typically in the range of 20 or 30 pounds per square foot.
For secondary wall members supporting formed metal siding the design wind load deflection shall not exceed l 90.

The international codes i codes are the widely accepted comprehensive set of model codes used in the us and abroad to help ensure the engineering of safe sustainable affordable and resilient structures.
The international code council icc is a non profit organization dedicated to developing model codes and standards used in the design build and compliance process.
Live loads roof live loads snow loads rain loads wind loads and earthquake loads are all examples of variable loads.
Flat roof snow loads of 30 psf 1 44 kn m 2 or less and roof live loads of 30 psf 1 44 kn m 2 or less need not be combined with seismic loads.
Arch 331 note set 13 1 s2014abn 2.
Where flat roof snow loads exceed 30 psf 1 44 kn m 2 20 percent shall be combined with seismic loads.
Note the roof is designed for the roof live load not more than 20 psf or the snow load whichever is greater.

To correctly apply the values of the tables and the prescriptive methods of construction build ers must know the structural design criteria in the planning chapter of the code.
These loads are not considered to be per manent because of their inherent degree of variability with respect to time see the definition of loads in ibc 202.
And the appropriate live loads as prescribed in this.
Shall be designed to resist wind and where applicable snow and earthquake loads in addition to the dead load of construction.
These elements are now required to be designed for 75psf if they happen to be less than 10 feet.
