Wind Exposure Factor given Roof Snow Load Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Wind Exposure Factor = Roof Snow Load/(0.7*Thermal Effects Factor*Importance Factor for End Use*Ground Snow Load)
Ce = Pf/(0.7*Ct*I*Pg)
This formula uses 5 Variables
Variables Used
Wind Exposure Factor - Wind Exposure Factor is the factor of effect on exposure to wind.
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.
Thermal Effects Factor - The thermal Effects Factor is the measure of the effect of exposure to heat.
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)
Thermal Effects Factor: 1.21 --> 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
Ce = Pf/(0.7*Ct*I*Pg) --> 574.563107758693/(0.7*1.21*0.8*861.84466163804)
Evaluating ... ...
Ce = 0.983864620228256
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.983864620228256 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.983864620228256 0.983865 <-- Wind Exposure Factor
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
