Irc ridge of gable roof 20 derees pressure zone. For flat roofs roof angle 0 degrees either gable or monoslope may be used. That is not the case with multiple types of exhaust vents. For the purpose of determining the component and cladding loads on the roof surface of a building the area at the ridge of a gable roof sloped at 20 degrees shall be considered as pressure zone at other than the eaves a. For the purpose of determining the component and cladding loads on the roof surface of a building the area at the ridge of a gable roof sloped at 20 degrees shall be concidered as pressure zone at other than the eaves.

Used for roof overhang area along the perimeter of zone 3. It extends from one gable end to the other at the peak of the roof. The wind pressure acting on a building face is the product of the dynamic pressure 0 5 x air density x wind speed2 and a pressure coefficient obtained from the design standard.
