Thermal Effects factor given Roof Snow Load Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Thermal Effects Factor = Roof Snow Load/(0.7*Wind Exposure Factor*Importance Factor for End Use*Ground Snow Load)
C_t = P_f/(0.7*C_e*I*P_g)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Thermal Effects Factor - The thermal Effects Factor is the measure of the effect of exposure to heat.
Roof Snow Load - (Measured in Pascal) - Roof Snow Load is the downward force on a building's roof by the weight of accumulated snow and ice.
Wind Exposure Factor - Wind Exposure Factor is the factor of effect on exposure to wind.
Importance Factor for End Use - Importance Factor for End Use is the factor whose value lies in range 0.8 to 1.2.
Ground Snow Load - (Measured in Pascal) - Ground Snow Load is used in the determination of the design roof snow load of a site.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Roof Snow Load: 12 Pounds per Square Foot --> 574.563107758693 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Wind Exposure Factor: 0.8 --> No Conversion Required
Importance Factor for End Use: 0.8 --> No Conversion Required
Ground Snow Load: 18 Pounds per Square Foot --> 861.84466163804 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_t = P_f/(0.7*C_e*I*P_g) --> 574.563107758693/(0.7*0.8*0.8*861.84466163804)

Evaluating ... ...

C_t = 1.48809523809524

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.48809523809524 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.48809523809524 ≈ 1.488095 <-- Thermal Effects Factor

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)
