Tech Note L200-26: Roof Anchorage Forces: MWFRS or C&C

Summary: 

This Technical Note defines the two levels of force and discusses the effects of using Component and Cladding (C&C) loads versus Main Wind Force Resisting System (MWFRS) calculated uplift loads. Design examples are provided to indicate the difference in roof-to-wall anchorage force for either type of load. Mainstream reference standards and quotes from field experts are cited when discussing the appropriate levels for calculating the uplift forces.

NOTE: This Tech Note is available at no cost to corporate, professional, and student members in the exclusive members-only section.
