Commercial Skid House Snow Load and wind force
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I need a clear, code-driven calculation of the design snow load for a commercial skid house built from a wood-and-steel hybrid frame. The goal is safety compliance, so every number must be traceable to the latest IBC / ASCE 7 provisions (or the locally adopted equivalent).
Scope
• Determine ground snow load for the site (I’ll supply exact coordinates once we start).
• Work through exposure, thermal, importance, and drift factors appropriate to a single-storey commercial structure on skids.
• Provide the final design roof snow load as well as any critical drift or unbalanced load cases.
• Highlight governing load combinations that I should use in the structural check.
Deliverable
A concise engineering report in PDF that includes:
1. Assumptions, maps, and code references.
2. Step-by-step calculations with equations shown.
3. Summary table of resulting loads.
4. Brief recommendations if the current roof framing may require reinforcement.
A spreadsheet with the same formulas set up for future site changes would be a welcome bonus.
Basically, for Temporary housing permitting in Utah I need an engineer to state the snow load and wind force capabilities of these skid mounted houses.
Roof Snow Load for each unit.
Wind speed design for each unit.
